Have you ever rented a car? How do you know whether anything is hidden in the rental? A friend was pulled over (Asian decent) by DPS. The company we work for allows us to rent cars when travelling to facilities within driving distance in liew of using privately owned vehicles. He was travelling on a high drug traffic interstate. The DPS tropper could not understand why he rented a car for a short distance. He was fishing. He asked for consent to search and my friend said he didn't care. The trooper let him leave. He was pulled over for 67 in a 65 zone.kw5kw wrote:IF you have NOTHING to hide, what's the problem?
I have nothing to hide... anyone may come and search my vehicle at any time for I have nothing, no drugs, no illegal contraband--nothing, nada, zilch.
I could care less if they look.
I clued him in on his 4th amendment rights.
Not knocking the DPS. They are doing a tough job, but one must know ones rights.
