Not a lawyer...but if a cop pulls you over, the default assumption is that there is an "individualized suspicion of wrongdoing" - you would probably have to show that the officer did not have a valid reason for stopping you (e.g. "Driving while black").
- SilasX 8y agoRight, they'll have grounds for stopping you, but a search requires additional cause on top of the initial stop. If talcum powder is a "search", then so is that touching.
- defen 8y agoIt seems like a "reasonable" search given that there is individualized suspicion of wrongdoing, and the search is non-intrusive.
