Any druggies or Jihadis that read this board will be grateful for the education. Anyway, in my experience, people are aware of their rights, they just think that if they act like they have nothing to hide, the cops won’t actually search.

Sorry, I didn't realize that our contsitutional rights were supposed to be kept secret. I was merely trying to start a discussion around why some people do or don't consent to a search regardless of their constitutional rights.

What's NavVet stand for?

(The obvious interpretation is ruled out; people in the Navy are required to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.)

A great point.

I wish they would take all DEA officers and retool their mission to be a search for jihadis.

I disagree that educating Americans about their Constitutional rights mostly benefits "druggies or Jihadis."

I agree. People don’t need to know their constitutional rights anymore. Our lives should be controlled at the local level by politicians and law enforcement. It makes their job easier and if we have nothing to hide, why not let them search?

Then why ask in the first place for a consent to search and why not just altogether do way with the right?: not just “druggies” or murderists (not terrorists as they don’t scare me) as for the most part cops are looking for guns, legal or illegal. Watch what you mock, it could be YOU next.

“Druggies or jihaddis” (your terms), have just as much constitutional rights as you do.

If you are a Navy veteran, you swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

I’m stunned that you do not know what rights are protected.

So why do you believe that US citizens are afraid to exercise their rights?

Once I ran afoul of a speed trap, on US 75 in Grayson county. I keep my insurance certificate in the seatback pocket, or I did then at least. I told the officer this, and asked if was OK to reach back there, he asked if I any guns or weapons back there, I said "back there? No". We did our business, which eventually involved taking one of those defensive driving courses, and I went on my way. What I failed to mention was the arsenal in the trunk. (This was before the days of CHL in Texas and way before "traveling" was finally defined in the law so that ordinary folks, with no state permission required, could once again lawfully have the means to protect themselves in their vehicle, without needing a gun rack.)

If the cop asks for permission to search he intends to search.
