First off, any fool with a name like that is no singer. He must be a rapper, and that's not singing. And it sure isn't music. It's ghetto noise. You want music? Junior Walker. Eddie Kendricks. Diana Ross. Martha and the Vandellas.

You get the picture.

LOL!

I remember way back in the 80’s, MC Hammer told some young rappers that he was going to start doing some rap in his live shows.

The rappers said, “Why would you do that? The only reason we rap is ‘cause we can’t sing!”.....................

“I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove a thing!”..................

So having a cadaver dog or a drug sniffing dog would not be allowed? It would seem that if either dog indicates a problem, that would be probable cause.

FOR SALE:

One used Tesla. Low miles. Needs some interior work...............

Nobody likes Tesla drivers in California

Not a police lot.

To which D4vd replied, “You should have noticed that I was locked and loaded.”

“””””The stench of death will never come out.”””””

Boomers remember the old tale of the 1 year old $500 Corvette Stingray (or Cadillac, or other expensive car).

Most impounded cars I’ve ever had to deal with have been gone through many times and pretty well stripped of valuables.

A body in an impounded car?

That’s a new one.

[Red Badger]

For days..........😖

Now who doesn’t forget and leave things in their trunk?

Anne Barnhardt called it animal grunting.

A Tesla?

Odd. Looks like the type who would ride around on a mophead.

“Impound lots don’t have any authority to search cars, a casual inspection and listing of visible items is all they’re allowed by law.”

In California, a police officer can lawfully search an impounded car on a private lot if there is probable cause to believe the vehicle contains evidence of a crime, or an inventory search.

The search must have a reasonable scope. For example, an inventory search may involve listing contents visible in the cabin or trunk, but police cannot open locked containers without specific authorization or a warrant.

So if they run across a dead body, as in this case, they seal it up, and then get a warrant as it is for specific evidence to a crime. But LE can enter the trunk for a search.
