[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody should ever consent to a voluntary search. No lawyer would ever advise you to waive your rights in this way. The only people "voluntarily" giving up their rights are people who are uneducated and are being manipulated to act against their own self interest in some way. This is not how police departments should operate. Cops shouldn't be dishonest and tricking ordinary citizens into waiving essential right that protect them from the state. [/quote]

Zero sympathy if the “ordinary citizen” has an illegal weapon in the car. [/quote]

I fail to see how a “weapon” (however you interpret the term) is of any danger to anyone simply being transported in a car.

I’m not speaking of a weapon being brandished or held or about to be used/being used - I just  mean the stereotypical example of a gun or knife or baseball bat or golf club in the car. Those items don’t present a danger to anyone simply being in the car and transported around. There is no criminal intent there.

Police shouldn’t be able to search cars thinking they’ll turn up something that wasn’t being used nefariously to begin with.

Here you go folks - the activists actually want people to be able to drive around with illegal guns. [/quote]

No gun is illegal. Just like no human being is illegal.

See how that works? [/quote]
