Consent to search me but not car

If I give consent to search me when I am outside of my vehicle does that give implied consent to search my vehicle?This was not during a traffic stop.Also the officer patted me down and went through all my pockets is that.I was not detained arrested or ticketed as I had done nothing wrong.

Re: Consent to search me but not car

I do not do much search and seizure specific practice, but it seems you have not provided enough information to completely answer your question, as to implied consent to search your vehicle. What exact incidences occurred just before you gave consent to be searched? What occurred during or after the search? Where were you in proximity to your vehicle? Do you know why you were asked for permission to be searched?

If you can provide the answers to these questions, and perhaps more before and after facts, then probably someone on this service can answer your question. There are wonderful legal minds connected with this service, but you will need to give them more to go on.
