Re: probable cause to search vehicle
Thank you for the post.
The answer to your question is generally "no." A law enforcement offier requires a warrant to search except under certain limited conditions including a threat to the officer, an inventory search or a search incident to arrest or under some exigent circumstances such as significant evidence of drugs.
