So ur saying for every traffic stop, the cops have probable cause to go through our cars, trunks and glove compartments??
I thought you said probable cause was that you were nervous? Probable cause doesn't even have to be obvious. If a cop thinks you're suspicious, he can legally search your car. You could have told him that you did not grant him permission to search your car.
At least a month leave?It's obvious you don't know the law. You can google this all up if you don't believe me.
Tell me, did you get a ticket for the headlight?
You're totally wrong on this. The cop can use the "nervousness" as "probable cause" But when the "suspect" gives all the information that the officer needs and asks for the officer can no longer detain the "suspect." Keeping him there longer for no apparent reason other than his own bias or suspicion is an unlawful detention that can result in a civil lawsuit.
