Never consent to a search without a warrant. Ask if you are under arrest, and if not, refuse the search. If you are arrested, ask only what the charges are and contact a lawyer; say nothing to the cops without legal representation.
I won’t argue with them, but neither will I answer their questions unless local law enforcement are the ones asking for ID. Without probable cause Federal law enforcement has no constitutional authority. JMHO.
Good advice.
What sort of troubles me, deep in the recesses of my min, is that if the government has the authority to randomly stop people in their private cars, driving down public roads and have the authority to search your car-—what more can they do? How much further can they go?
This whole scenario is pretty scary.
The government always starts with a little step and then, before anyone much notices, it has turned into a nightmare.
The TSA is an example—didn’t most of us want the security of knowing that a plane we boarded was free of “terrorists”?
Now the TSA has their own form of terrorism..........
