SCOTUS: Cops can't force you to wait for K9

[mindfold]

This thread is making me look forward more and more to driving to Michigan in June with CO plates. Last time I did I was pulled over twice. I think speeding was the reason. Wife and kids in the car. Pretty sure it was the CO plates that got me. and yes I set the cruise at 5 over. Fully expecting to be pulled over at least one on the way there.

I wouldn't be too paranoid, we drove to California last summer with zero issues. Don't do anything stupid, and stupid stuff generally avoids you. Unless of course, you, your family, and your friends just have horrible luck or something......

Wife and I drove more than 10,000 miles last year in my 4runner pulling our little trailer, though Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. We had ZERO interactions with the police. Now it may be that a 4runner with military license plates driven by a middle aged white guy doesn't fit the "profile" like, say a Subaru covered in 420 stickers and driven by a twenty-something in dreadlocks, but I think it does show that the whole "if you have CO plates the cops will pull you over to check for weed" paranoia is just stupid.

Yeah...in the past year I've driven extensively in Idaho, and up and down the drug corridors (interstates) in MT and WY, and all over eastern WA. Police and troopers never give me, or my Colorado plates, a second look.

Don't those 420 stickers mean "I love green leaves" ??

[roberth]

I have driven all over the US only had a couple of problems they were both in Utah. I drive a clean looking cars do the speed limit, ect. I have driven through some scary looking poverty stricken places where their was just old single wide trailers, broken cars, dead stores, etc. Then all the sudden a brand new shinny police car with a "K9" sticker watching the road through town for .. ? non cousins ? drug king pins ? nice car ?____ ? all it would take is $20 worth of stuff to be "found" and your life is over for a few years and they are $20,000 more in the ? black.

Police are people some are great people a few are corrupt. Their is not really much to keep them in check in situations like road side searches.

Sounds like you were driving through meth heaven.

Yeah it seems like meth is pretty popular in poverty stricken rural areas. A lot of my drives were through areas that have "cheap land" and remote areas.
