Amendment four of the U.S. Constitution states.
"the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or Affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized."
Now if a cop pulls you over on a routine stop. & he asks to search your vehicle & you say No, is that not already probable cause for him? I personally put myself in the cops shoes. If I ask to search some ones car & they say no I can easily assume that he has anything & everything inside his car that he shouldn't have other wise why wouldn't he let me search the car. I think suspision is enough probable cause for a police officers to search your car. If you hesitate or refuse a search does that not make the officer question what you may be hiding? I personally think ylif you have nothing to hide at all a search should be no big deal to you. So does you refusing them to search your vehicle count as probable cause? Can a cop make assumptions on mere suspision? & is that enough probable cause to allow a search and violate your rights? Personally I think if you say no to a search the cop has the right to say whatever he wants as to what's in your car as he cannot prove you have nothing in your car unless you are willing to let him find nothing in your car through a search. You can't prove to him that you have nthing to hide any other way. The only way is to let him actually find nothing. Other wise in his eyes your hiding anything & in your eyes your not. One of thee persons has to be wrong therefor the search is the way to clear it all up.
Is probable cause enough to violate your rights? Does a cops suspision after you say no to a search count as probable cause?
