If you believe this then I have a bridge, some prime real estate in the everglades and a perpetual motion machine you might be interested in investing in.
Being THAT naive will get you into trouble one day.
KeepUSfree indicated that Cops are likely to search without suspicion and that I was being “naive”.
I was an investigator for over 30 years. I have supervised many officers. Cops like hunting dogs, are lazy. It doesn’t pay to search where there’s no reward. That doesn’t mean that their reasoning is like that of the “average citizen” it means that they see some potential in finding contraband or just screwing with a someone for “contempt of Cop”.
You may note that I did not suggest that anyone should ever consent to a search. I explained how it is easier for a prosecutor to argue that if you had nothing to hide, you would have consented. He will continue with the attack that the criminal in question simply thought he was smarter than the police when he consented. It is lots harder to establish PC for the stop followed by PC for the search.
