"Your Car Is An Extension of Your Home": What does this mean?

True...but that's just another reason not to give consent. I may be mistaken but I think most departments have forms for the operator of a vehicle to sign for consent searches.

I'd say I got a signed consent form (after verbal consent to search) from at least 9 out of 10 people when I asked for consent to search. Pretty astonishing how easily people will surrender their privacy.

the one time I refused a search they proceeded to run me though a full DUI test (walk the line, breathalyzer) and when I passed that wrote me tickets for tail ight and failure to stop (rolling stop). Be brepared for shit when you refuse.
If you know nothing is to be found, it is easier to sign away your rights.

BULLSHIT Outside of the NYSP doing multiple Forced searches during a MC event some 35 yrs ago. NO ONE searches any thing of mine, no one gets consent etc. NEVER SIGN YOUR RIGHTS AWAY. You say you're not compromising with your Gun Rights, why any other time.

I agree with you, I'm just saying it might be seen as defiance or that you have something to hide. Do you think the police officer would go to the trouble to get a warrant if you do say no?

no, unless they already have PC. but they will make that traffic stop hell.

The it is easier to sign away your rights was in response to Bailey's statement that many consented to a search.

You are correct...it is in fact easier to sign your rights away. The question is: do you want to take the easy route or do you take the "shit" in stride knowing you are standing up for your convictions?

I don't know I can honestly say I've never had a run in with a dick police officer. Its amazing what a "yes sir" and a military ID will do for you
