If permission to search was not given the mags could have been in plain sight, another exception to a search warrant.

True, but the fact that these random searches are allowed to go on in the first place is cause for concern.

Check and balances mean shit if the people responsible for the checking let bullshit like this happen.

Well I think folks like Bloomberg and Cuomo prove that the sickness in NY goes all the way to the top... We're edging towards the same fate here- thanks to Hick.

The 4th amendment goes higher than the state level. It's those dickheads in Washington that are dropping the ball.

The NY state troopers and JeffCo sheriffs pull people over all the time there for the most minor of stuff. It's where Ft Drum is and they view soldiers as a revenue source. In NY your car is not an extension of your home like in CO, there is no warrant needed to search a car.

What's keeping our completely left-leaning CO administration from attacking that here too.... could Dickinpooper issue an order changing that ruling locally, so a "vehicle is not an extension of your home" anymore?

i dont know why everyone is making such a big deal. Our government, politicians and law enforcement officers only have our best interests in mind. they would never do anything that was inappropriate.

what is the attraction to some 200 something year old piece of paper anyway? it should be a living breathing document that fits the times?

I know you're being sarcastic, but what's that saying I'm looking for? "F you and the horse you rode in on!"

It wouldn't matter, your car is still your property. Like I said, my school backpack can't be searched for no reason and that has nothing to do with homes.

According to Jefferson County Sheriff’s office sources, Mr. Haddad was in the parking lot of a closed business at 7:30 p.m. when an officer asked him what he was doing. The police allege that the Fort Drum civilian employee said that he was meeting someone to sell the AR-15 style rifle magazines. A police source also said that the magazines were stamped with the words “Restricted. For military use only.”
For the possession of the magazines, Mr. Haddad was arrested, booked in county jail and charged with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, according to the arrest report. Mr. Haddad did not have his AR-15 rifle in the car, but it is unclear whether he had another firearm. Police say that he was in possession of a New York State carry permit. He was not charged with any other offenses.
These charges are considered “violent class D violent felony offenses” under New York state law and carry a punishment that ranges widely from conditional discharge to seven years in state prison. (The five charges would be served concurrently.)

and really, dont want to go to jail ? then don't break the law. and the law is just a reflection of the will of society uh-huh.

so what is the issue again ? these cops were just doing their jobs by enforcing the LAW !

Right ?
