Or doesn't anyone care about the Constitution?

Two: If an officer pulls you over and asks if he can search your vehicle, do not say "yes" when you've got more money in your trunk than your boss has in the bank.

Before you guys get your panties in constitutional wad, read the stories a little better - the guy was an "undocumented immigrant".

As such, he should have no rights anyhow. Now we get to feed and house him.

The article says they were "watching him anyway" but didn't pull him over until he started driving the wrong way on the road.

He then CONSENTED to the search.

Contrary to popular opinion, being an *ssh*l* is suspicious. If nothing else it will earn you a police officer who will do all the i dotting and t crossing to make it very very annoying withing due process as they understand (or think they understand) it.

Look at Martha Stuart, a perfect example of the rewards of being an *ssh*l*.
