While excusing government goons giving a beating to anyone saying a cross word to them. You are a good citizen.
well, good is a subjective word.
I am not trying to take sides here, the cops don't sign my pay check, but it is what it is.
well, The threshold for "reasonable suspicion," on the other hand, is not as stringent as that which is required to establish probable cause. It is more than simply a "hunch" but does not necessarily involve indisputable evidence of a crime. For example, a motorist who is swerving from lane to lane may be drunk or just a bad driver, but this gives an officer reasonable suspicion to investigate further.
If you are still wondering, "When can the police search search your car?" or for help with unlawful search and seizure defense, contact a criminal defense attorney.

So why are these folks driving around filming themselves with an in car video camera?
So they could drum up a lawsuit over nothing. They were doing everything they could to create a situation where the BP would drag the guy out of the car. Unfortunately for them, they created probable cause for the search and just had a really bad afternoon instead. They are idiots.
I know when the police can search me or my property, and contrary to what you believe a "nasty attitude" never constitutes probable cause nor reasonable suspicion.
You did change your words since at first you said he should have answered. Then you agreed he was not required to.

Those two statements are not incompatible. He did not say the driver was legally obligated to answer the officer's question, just that he could have forestalled the whole situation has he done so.
If you truly know when the police can and can not search you then you'd know that as soon as he started not following instructions, like to pull out of the lane and pull over, the police have a right to "detain" him and in detaining him they have a right to search him and the area under his immediate control for possible weapons.

Where am I going? I drive back and forth across the border because I am bored, or I like driving around the nastiest water on the planet.
