Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

The answer to that question depends heavily upon the factual details that led up to the search. Depending upon the type of event or place this was, since it was State land there could be a right to conduct searches upon entering the premises for contraband. Otherwise, government officers need to have probable cause that a crime is being committed to search containers. The easiest way this would occur in a park is if the ranger saw you or members of your party with alcohol containers that were cold and you only had one cooler. Also, if the cooler were left unattended while you swam or hiked, the rangers might get away with saying that they thought it was abandoned. If this involves an actual case and you have been charged with a crime, you should speak with an experienced criminal attorney about representation.
