if you have a CDL, it doesn't matter...15 mph over the limit and your license can be revoked.
All the cops now are little ninja pointed head drug warriors...they are cry babies and are afraid of their own shadow...they will steal whatever they can from your vehicle and sit around waffle house and brag to each other about what "bad sumbitches" they are.
I hate them all..a young lady that i know had went to the drive thru and caxhed her paycheck..little over $500.00..she was stopped early that evening...when asked if they could search her vehicle, she told them "NO" there was no reason to search her vehicle...they ignored this and went all over her car...they found no drugs but the $500.00 + was gone and the sheriff dept denied any liability due to the impeccable integrity of their officers.
Ouachita parish (monroe & west monroe, La) is the worse place in the whole state of Louisiana, Sheriff Richard Fewell, was himself at one time a little sissy that got his ass kicked daily at school and looks like a beady eyed little mole..
i have great respect for "law Enforcement" but these guys they hire nowadays are really lil nazis with bad haircuts.
when asked if they could search her vehicle, she told them "NO"
That's not a yes or no question. They don't need your permission to search your car, they do need probable cause. A yes or no answer can be probable cause depending on other circumstances. Where I live , no gets the drug dog called in, yes gets you searched. I've given the "you don't need my permission if you have probable cause" answer on 2 occasions and they shrugged it off and let me go on my way
