Does Refusing a Search Give Police Probable Cause?

[@Aaron_Bleu]

I feel like this guy could get pulled over in a hot-boxed car smoke pouring out the windows and a huge bong sitting passenger and talk his way out of a warning

[@munstrumridcully]

IMO, your best bet is to keep your bongs, weed and anything else like it, at home, where your privacy is much more protected by law. If you must travel with illicit goods, like when getting weed from point of purchase to home, keep them in the trunk, preferably in a locked, opaque container. Also, try not to drive while black, or while being any kind of young male (especially in groups), as this seems a surefire way to make a cop itch to search your car! ;-)

[@fruitygarlic3601]

​@dankest memes Does race not factor into your physical appearance? It's slightly irresponsible to ignore the fact that people have inherent biases about race, which can really cloud which "part" they think you play.

[@craftycriminalistwithms.z3053]

justførkicks exactly, when people pretend to not acknowledge ones race, it is in fact another way of being racist. You don’t have to believe this statement for it to be true, because it very much is true.

[@ReenaBINA]

😂

[@FlexYourRights]

@YoshiIkagawa SunSunSuperFun's answer is correct. It's well established law, so this issue only arises peripherally. One example is Florida v. Bostick, in which Justice O'Connor wrote, "We have consistently held that a refusal to cooperate, without more, does not furnish the minimal level of objective justification needed for a detention or seizure." In other words, refusing a search not only fails to create probable cause for a search, it doesn't even justify a brief detention.

[@videomaniac108]

Scott, this is one of the best videos your organization has done; it cracks me up every time I watch it.

[@tomwolfe6063]

You are correct in that refusing an s&s does not give probable cause but cops will often say that it does and will attept to convince you that agreeing to it is in your best interests. They will then, ask you again. This is where people make the mistake of thinking that being cooperative will make the cop more likely to overlook that roach in the ashtray. The police depend on this trick more than you'd think. Be nice but be firm and record, record, record.

[@FlexYourRights]

@stringX90 Private venues can enforce their own policies. You can refuse the search by choosing not to enter.

[@MedalionDS9]

I come back to this video every so often... still hilarious.. but also informative

[@mfresh1965]

How do you get around the old, "You look like someone we're looking for."

[@xStaySkilledx]

Ask "Am I being detained? Or am I free to go?" If you're not being detained you have the right to leave. If they change the subject or don't answer the question, keep asking it. If they say you're not being detained then walk away.

[@sig6751]

xStaySkilledx This so hard. The best way to exit the situation is to exit the situation.

[@roadrnr78]

Obviously, this guy has never been to Arizona. The LEO's (Law Enforcement Officers) in AZ practice what's known locally as "The Old West Mentality", meaning "I have the badge, I'll do what I want". Cops in AZ constantly violate 4th Amendment rights. You do not consent to searches, they arrest you and search anyway. It was done to me for not allowing a search of my vehicle. I was arrested, my truck searched and impounded, and I went to jail. What he did NOT know was I had a camera recording video & voice and sending off-site to my girlfriend 1/4 mile behind me. The video captured me refusing consent. I brought the video to court, case dismissed. Said officer wound up driving a desk for a year. Be prepared to record!

[@jaywill4ever]

Good for you! I hope you're also suing that officer for violating your rights.

[@badpanda84]

LOL that what the told you. but regarldes case dismissed is not a victory by any means. The cops already accompliced there objective which is to search you..

[@videomaniac108]

Scott, these are all interesting and informative videos that you've done and we are thankful to you for taking the time and making the effort to help us in our dealings with the police. Don't be offended by the claims of some of the viewers of a previous video that you looked high. It was just good-natured fun. Many of those people were also having fun with each other about drug use. I think that many of the people were taking a silly attitude towards many of our silly drug laws and how they're ridiculously enforced. Keep up the good work and don't forget to take the time to have a good laugh about all of this once in awhile.

[@azi6896]

"The first one, unfortunately, probably the #1 question that I got was 'How high are you?'" I lost it.

[@FlexYourRights]

@TheHe11ion2012 Officers can legally ask you to exit the vehicle. When it comes to pat-downs, they technically need at least a vague reason to suspect you might be armed (i.e. you're in a high crime area). So yes, you have a right to refuse a pat-down, but courts are very permissive when it comes to police frisking people for officer safety reasons. In many cases, police will just do it without even asking. Any evidence could then be challenged in court.

[@onlinegamesful]

[@videomaniac108]

We need more people like u out there informing people of their rights! Cops r trained to use people's lack of knowledge of their rights to their advantage, so BRAVO!!! Keep it up!!!

[@TerribleTracey1]

I was stopped for a so-called called traffic violation a few years ago. He asked to search my car and I told him no, he had no probable cause search my car, even though I didn't have anything, he said well I was just going to give you a ticket but now I'm going to arrest you. Because after I arrest you I'm allowed to search, so he made up a charge, arrested me and searched my car which he found nothing but I got taken to jail, in there for 11 days, they towed my car, put my dog in the dog pound. Cost me almost $1,000 to get my dog out, my car out and me out then they dismissed all charges. All because I said NO! I wasn't being mean or anything! So what are you supposed to do when that happens? Oh, BTW I am an older blue eyed blonde white woman, never been in trouble.

[@4.0gpa44]

Sue them for false arrest. Although that is a tough claim since they are protected by qualified immunity.

[@vespa59]

Thanks for continuing to educate people, despite the plethora of nimrod commenters who either can't put together a coherent sentence, can't work out answers to common sense questions, and/or can't get past thinking that you're high (not like that should matter - you clearly know your shit regardless of whether or not you partake). The more people know this stuff, the less brazen cops will be when deciding to violate our rights.

[@puellanivis]

@Thrashaero It's not something that you argue with the cop, it's something that your lawyer argues in court. You don't have to worry about "what is reasonable cause" and if the officer has it. All you have to do in your police encounter is say, "I consent to no searches." If the officer attempts to say that he has reasonable cause, you say: "I am not resisting, but I consent to no searches." If he still insists on searching, then your lawyer can potentially throw the evidence out.

[@F1R35C0RP10N]

@AvA1Stevie The only reason why I know that dried out white sage leaves smell like pot when it burns is because I used to work at a tattoo parlor that was adjacent to a head shop. But other than the smell it gives off and it being used as a spice for certain foods, I have no idea what else it could be used for.

[@majgenglenn]

Scott you taught me alot and you are cool a hell.

[@nedtorin]

As many have stated before it depends on how you phrase your response. Different jurisdictions have laws pertaining to the size and type of knives you can carry. For example, regular pocket knives, box cutters ect. are as normal as any other tool, however if you claim to be carrying them for protection there could be issues. Switch blades, spring loaded knives and Bowie, machete type knives are normally not considered legal to carry on your person but not illegal to own either.

[@YoshiIkagawa]

Do you have a link to the most recent Supreme Court cases that cite the refusal to consent to a search not being grounds for probable cause? I'd be interested to see some of what they said.

[@KEWLIDO]

I am digging this channel!!! 2 quick things, not arguing here, first, sheriffs, local and state police were allowed to enter homes w/o a search warrant until the 1960's. Second, The Supreme Court of Indiana, has recently ruled that police do not need a search warrant to enter homes, whether an emergency or not, which takes Indiana folks back to the 1960's!!! Time Travel! So, do ya really want to go back in time folks??? ;)

[@Xbigmike17X]

this was my biggest question....TY

[@Kidwitha12gauge]

I have a couple questions. If an officer comes to your window and asks if you have any weapons such as knives or guns in the car do you have to say you have them in your car if its 100% legal to have them? If you get out of the car is it legal to refuse a pat down?

[@Wizerik299]

I watched a related video that got me thinking: does turning away from, or avoiding a police checkpoint in which searches may be conducted really constitute a "probable cause" case? I mean, private citizens should be afforded the right to simply avoid an area where they may be searched randomly if they wish to retain their privacy and rights to privacy. Is that how the law views it, or would avoiding a police checkpoint really be considered a valid reason to be searched?

You're very intelligent and all your information is spot on kudos man you kick ass

[@Florida40cal]

I was pulled over- a police officer asked me if he could search the car. I promptly said "No, you can't" . (keep in mind I was pulled over the DAY before, and they searched my car and found nothing, even after a dog "indicated"). The officer then told me "we'll, by the way your acting nervous, and by telling me I can't search your car, gives me reason to believe you have something to hide, and that's all the probable cause I need". He searched and found pot. Pub. Defend wouldn't fight it for me.

[@nedtorin]

#1 you are correct that refusal does not add to probable cause. #2 cops do not need a warrant to search a person or a vehicle under certain circumstances. #3 If stopped by the police either on foot or in a vehicle and you or the vehicle smell of marijuana, the police can search your person or vehicle with out a warrant. #4 In any vehicle stop police may order the occupants out of the vehicle for any reason for the duration of the stop.

[@ElGatoLoco698]

I've always wondered that too. I was watching a cop show the other day and they set up a check point on a known drug highway. The purpose of the checkpoint was not to check drivers who passed through the checkpoint but it was to pull over the people who turned around before they got to the checkpoint. That just seems to wreak of underhanded and unjust tactics. That can't possibly be justification for probable cause, is it?

[@puellanivis]

@sabreyow "Am I being detained, or may I leave now?" This question forces the officer to answer think about if he has clearly articulable and specific facts to provide reasonable cause to detain you. They are not allowed to just hold you there while they wait for the dog to arrive, and if they had cause to hold you until the dog arrived, they would have cause to search you without a warrant. Stand up for your rights, and question constantly if you have the right to leave.

[@sabreyow]

what pisses me off,is when the cops pull you over and then say can i search your vehicle? if the person says no,then the cop says ok,well if you dont have anything to hide,then why cant we search? say no again,and they make you wait 20 minutes for the dog to come..so even if you say no to the search,they still search.

[@OneWingedShark]

WRT the guy claiming that he heard it in Law School, I find that to be perfectly believable. The reason being that I have found a number of state statutes which violate the respective state's constitution. The response I get, when trying to bring these up is the only way to proceed via the legal system is to violate the statute... which means that I would have to acknowledge the legitimacy of that statute in the first place. Things don't get like this because of good & solid teaching.

[@fertilizerspike]

@TheRSChickenTV I got a charge thrown out because of an illegal search. A passenger in my car was arrested in a warrant for fishing without a fishing license. They took my bag out of my car, I sai that's mine you can't search it, so they searched it anyway, charged me with some bullshit, which got thrown out in court later. The video camera in the cop car recorded it all.

[@billforthrill]

Thank you Scott

[@draugur345]

No, and despite Shaffer815's response neither did leaving your doors unlocked, although locking your doors would have made it clear that you did not consent, what happened to you would be considered a "no contest" situation in which the law considers that since you did not expressly deny your consent to be searched you allowed the officers to do so. Such a case is not as strong as if you had given express consent but it's also not a violation as if you had denied it.

[@refoliation]

Can you stop a voluntary search after already agreeing to it? Like if your scared and accidentally say it's okay, can you stop them after cooler heads have prevailed to prevent them from searching or finding anything they haven't already found?

[@ElGatoLoco698]

I agree. It is absurd and ridiculous. But the point is it can and does happen. And if you relent and don't invoke your rights, there is nothing to guarantee it won't happen to you. However, there is a way I can guarantee it won't happen to me. Simply knowing and invoking my rights. "I'm sorry officer, counsel advised me under no circumstances can I allow you to search my car without a warrant." The disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

[@LiquidLennon]

What about when they son't ask permission and proceed to search you at the start? I was walking home after curfew, but not being a minor at the time & having my ID as proof on hand I wasn't worried about that. But I was walking through the neighborhood and a police car pulled up in front of me, got out of his car and immediately told me to put my hands on the hood of the car. I asked if there was a problem but they continued to hold me and eventually searched me, took my ID, etc. Thoughts?

[@kanibus08]

If you allowed an officer in to your house under neutral pretenses would that afford them the right to search your home or would they be required to ask a seperate request for permission to search? Also, is an officer allowed to lean his head inside your vehicle to look inside and/or smell your car without permission or cause to do so?

[@disturbed157]

it's stated directly in the constitution that a persons exercising their rights is not tantamount to committing a crime

[@pangolin9]

@myjoeysway27 If the dog is there still refuse the search. That dog is a police officer. They can sniff around the car. Shut your doors and windows if possible. If the dog is not present they can not detain without for length without reason till the dog arrives on sceane. Always if you can pull on prvt, property------- keep a spare hidden key---- lock your keys in the car on the front seat. Where are you----outside the car or when they ask you to get out.

I have a couple of questions. I have a criminal background, and would like to know if that could be probable cause. Also, how long can they hold you while they wait for the dogs to come sniffing your car? What would you say?

[@anneosborne5630]

Noah Box For your 2nd question, as of 4/22/15 the answer is o minutes.They can not wait for a k9 sniff while giving a citation.

[@denniselliott27]

First off, if they don't have a warrant or probable cause to search your vehicle, you should ask if you're being charged with something, if you're not, ask if you're free to go. If you do that and they still say they intend to call a k9 unit, they can't legally hold you until it arrives.

[@mikemendillo5584]

[@saints360row]

-If it's legal, there's no requirement to tell the officer. If anything it's a kind and respectable gesture. Now if they're searching you and you don't tell them, well, he might not like it but even then it's NOT illegal to not tell them; as long as the contents that are on your person are legal. Not saying that if you have something illegal on your person and tell them of said illegal contents that it is then legal - It's not, though they may be easier on you..

[@ElGatoLoco698]

Thank you for confirming my point. But guess what, THE COPS CAN'T MANUFACTURE THAT PROBABLE CAUSE by setting up a road block and pulling someone over who avoids it. Because avoiding a road block is not probable cause or reasonable suspicion. So that statement is extremely relevant. If they have probable cause it must be clear and articulable. Therefore, he doesn't need your permission to search with probable cause. So, if he ASKS to search, he doesn't have probable cause. Understand?

[@ConstitutionalCrank708]

Not only is it not probable cause, it is not reasonable suspicion. In fact, you can give them consent to search, then withdraw it, and if they have not managed to find probable cause by then, they have to stop.

Now my question would be this...I am in the state of VA I was pulled over because the officer stated that I was swerving within my lane which I felt like was stupid but he asked for license and registration after he ran in my information he asked me to step out of the vehicle and he continued to search at what point is it ok for an officer to search you and not your vehicle?

[@2Truth4Liberty]

Swerving in your lane (without more) is very questionable as "reasonable suspicion". for a traffic stop. But "reasonable suspicion" of a crime ( includes traffic violation) is enough for a Terry stop, that is, pat down for weapons - no reaching in to pockets unless the pat down gives indication that a weapon may be in a pocket. That is a completely separate "officer safety" search from any later search of an automobile. Of course if you consent to an automobile search, that is waiving your right.

[@ottohenninger8954]

You should have locked the door behind you; if you leave your car door open the law considers that you consented to a search of your car!

[@eclypse3d]

ok so question, if I am just walking down the street, and I am wearing a trench coat and I am walking home from a party, if the cops get a report of a suspicious person attempting to break into a house is reported and while I am on my way home, do they have probable cause to search me because I sorta match a description of a suspect? I ask cause this happened to me on time walking home from a Bowdoin college party, I borrowed a friends jacket and they stopped me on the sidewalk on my way home.

[@InsaneMilkshake]

Maybe laws are different in your state but where I live in Florida K9 officers do NOT need probable cause to run the drug dog. It's called a 'free air sniff' and any K9 officer can have their dog sniff any vehicle at anytime. Think of the dog as the cops 'partner.' If an officer and his partner come up and the partner says he smells marijuana, it's pretty much the same thing as having the dog alert when it walks around the car. This is how I got arrested in April. My attorney educated me after

[@dylanruskin666]

Thanks Eddie furlong.

[@ConstitutionalCrank708]

[@Twiinkso]

I wasn't asked to consent to a search, I was just asked to step out of the vehicle and then searched. Was me stepping out consenting to the search?

[@puellanivis]

@rockybirddog If that happens, you continue to refuse to consent to any searches. If the dog really does smell something then they can search you without a warrant. At that point, it's a matter of debate between your lawyer and the prosecution. But if the dog does not actually signal, but the cop says it does, and you reluctantly agree to the search at that point, they've convinced you to consent. NEVER CONSENT. If they actually have probable cause, then they won't stop to ask you for permission

[@myjoeysway27]

i have a question, when you get pulled over and u dont allow them to search your car, they will say im getting a drug sniffing dog and if he hits on something i will have the right to search. Now that in its self should be wrong cause the cop is detaining you while waiting for the dog to arrive which i believe is wrong, and isnt the do sniffing your car a search in its self just a different kind of search, and that dog is in fact a law inforcement officer right?

[@acdcfan6]

But the fact of the matter is that it is one of our rights to be represented by a lawyer if we cant afford one. This is a very real issue.

Ok I figured this is a good one and thank you for telling me.... he asked me for the basic driver lic regi and insurance. I provided all the legal items... he came back asked me to step out.... then he asked me if I had anything illegal in the veh... I was like what no... then he asked me if I had ever smoked weed I told him duh lol who hasnt he asked me if I had any drug charges.... I at this point was getting upset... SEEMING HOW I DONT. then he told me ok and let me leave. I was very close to asking if I was being detained and I was going to say can I leave? Would I of been legal? I dont like letting my rights go. I wouldnt of let anyone search my car.

You didn't have to answer any of those questions. He was fishing for a reason to search your vehicle. You have a 5th amendment right against self incrimination. You admitted to smoking weed. He could easily have twisted what you said and then used that against you.

@sabreyow yes but if you don't have anyting to hid and they break something during that search they are now liable to pay for it if they break it..if you consent to it they are most likely not liable because you did consent to the search.. also the dog may come but it the dog is certainly not allowed inside the car.... remember that so don't open the car door for the dog

I like to know about getting searched through at airport customs. I arrive in america I go through all the checkpoints then I start to leave an ass to search my bags before leaving customs. what rights do I have by refusing customization searching my bags when I arrive in the united states and I'm an american citizen

Do you know that the RFID chips on your drivers licenses will be used to help police ID you without your permission. They will also allow the government to track you wherever you when you are in proximity of their sensors.

@999manman what about the dog sniffing your car isnt that a search?

[@Xxbwachamp445xX]

What if you have been caught with pot in the past...do they still need consent to search you?
