"I had a friend who was in law school, worked for the county courts, and refused a search by a highway patrol officer. He said that once he refused consent, the officer performed the search anyway, because the refusal was a part of the grounds for "probable cause"."

So, a search warrant was requested by this thug, and signed by a judge? Your student friend has a copy of the warrant and did not persue the false warrant through the courts?

At the least this officer committed violation of oath, criminal solicitation, making false statements and perjury.

It sounded to me like the ‘friend’ probably slept through several of his law school classes. Or perhaps didn’t share the whole story.

Four felonies at once. But of course nothing will happen to him for it.
