Re: consent search

Thank you for your inquiry to my office.

Your question is a little confusing but I will answer best I can.

If a police officer has lawfully stopped you, like speeding or other traffic violation, and knows that you are not the owner of the car, the officer may attempt to gain permission to search the vehicle from the owner.

I would need to speak to you a little more in detail about the facts of the stop. Contact my office if you'd like to discuss your case further.
