> I never claimed a bad lane change is probable cause for a search. Perhaps not in so many words... tptacek states that a bad lane change can be given as an excuse for a stop, but not a search, because it is not probable cause. In the following comment, you reject that claim: > Bad lane change is explicitly probable cause -- it's direct witnessing of a traffic code violation. A reasonable interpretation of your comment would be an argument that a bad lane change is probable cause for a search. It makes no sense to differentiate "probable cause for a stop", because there is either no such test, or it should otherwise be the same standard as for a search. On the other hand, I don't think tptacek has tried to give any advice as to whether a person should be worried about this or not.
