Absolutely. I watched it several times & at no time did the officer ask permission to search. He said “I have to take a look in the front of it real quick.” The only time I heard him actually ask her something was when he said “There’s nothing here I need to know about is there?” But he NEVER asked to search. Sounds like this officer may have more than one problem here.
I pointed this out earlier because cowboyway dishonestly assured us all that the cop DID ask her if he could search the car. He also misrepresented what the officer said to the driver (cowboyway seems to think the officer told the driver to halt, which is clearly not the case). Yet he continues to insult others in this thread who clearly have a much more rational view of the world than he does. Apparently, you're only conservative if you're "his brand" of conservative. If that means I have to kiss a police officer's boots, then count me out.
I watched the interview with Mr. Massey on CNN, and he is not the "punk" that people in this thread are making him out to be. He's a reasonable, intelligent young man. I applaud him for putting this video out there and perhaps taking a step towards removing a jerk with a badge from the streets.
