The case stemmed from an incident in 1999, when police in the Baltimore suburbs pulled over a speeding car. A search revealed a roll of cash in the glove compartment and cocaine in an armrest in the back seat.

The driver and the two passengers denied having anything to do with the contraband, so all three men were arrested.

Who should have been arrested in this case?

"You certainly wouldn't let three people with Uzis in their car leave because no one would admit the uzis were theirs," he said.

And, what, pray tell, is wrong with owning an Uzi?

Telling.

Supporting Maryland in the case were the Bush administration

Of course. More of that "limited government" crap and lies that Bush Jr.'s been spouting to buy votes.

... and just WHY was a car searched over a speeding ticket ?

Methinks there is more here then the writer is telling us.

"There's nothing in this opinion to prevent a police officer from arresting a graduate student who is offered a ride home late at night from a party that she has attended with some fellow students," said Tracey Maclin, a Boston University law professor.

When a conservative scholar or celebrity is arrested for riding in a vehicle where one of the passengers has illegally-obtained Oxycontin, then we will revisit the case.

"How many times have you gotten a ride with a friend? Are you going to peer around in their glove compartment?" asked Kemler, who fears the ruling will lead to a police dragnet. "You could find probable cause to arrest everybody."

THUG RULE! Blackbird.

I'm so glad we have republicans holding the house, senate, and white house, so the creeping police state will finally get rolled back.

Oh, wait....

I always thought that drugs and driving dont mix. So arrest whoever if the drugs are there. Maybe then druggies will not be tempting non-druggies, then young minds may flourish.

So if you get in a cab and the driver has some Cocaine in the glove compartment and he gets pulled over, you go to jail? This has gotten to an idiotic level. This is why i registered as a independant and not a Republican. I dont support this kind of crap or some of the drug forfiture laws.

Doesn't say...also doesn't answer my question...

Let's say they smelled pot, searched the car and found a stash in glove box. Who gets arrested if no one claims ownership?

It definitely wasn't a fishing expedition. They were looking for more evidence of speeding, of course. /s
