The police did not search his car. He refused consent to search. Wonder why?
“He refused consent to search. Wonder why?”
Could have something to do with this:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Sounds like Mr. Arbery was better versed in the 4th Amendment than the cops.
