Yes, used to work somewhere. She got laid off but I can see why that would seem funny from a random post on the internet. The point I was trying to make is: you really don't ever truly know what's in your car and that's reason enough for me to not consent to any searches. Since we're telling stories: I've been pulled over for a headlight being out and the cop was asking me routine questions for a stop. Cop: "Where are you going?" Me: "To the grocery store." Cop: "Did you know one of your head lights was out?" Me: "Are you serious?" (I actually didn't know my headlight was out) Cop: grin Me: "Yeah, I guess you're not just pulling me over for to be funny. No I didn't know it was out." Cop: "Are you carrying any drugs?" Me: "None that I'm aware of." Cop: "Can I search your car?" Me: "I do not consent to any searches." Then he goes back to his car for a couple of minutes, comes back, and tells me I'm free to go and to get the headlight fixed. I didn't get the feeling he really wanted to search my car, just that he was doing it to do it. Did I have anything in the car that was illegal? No. Why did I refuse? There was no point. There's no connection between a headlight and what ever might have been in the car. Cops sometimes have more respect for you when you exercise your rights. At least this one did.

> I can see why that would seem funny from a random post on the internet. Yes, I figured pointing it out would make you smile, but I take your word for the story, just wonder how they explained the missing drugs to their boss, who must have assumed they had sold it on the side. That's a somewhat career limiting move in the drug trade. Nice interaction with the police officer, if all of them were like that it would be good. I don't envy them their jobs at all, first responders get to see a lot of bad stuff in their time.

  Rereading the GP, it didn't actually say drugs were found in the door. They probably saw something had been put in there and the rumors embroidered on that.
