And, to anyone saying that he(Ozzy) should have refused the search , that might have worked pre-Patriot act. However, the Constitutional guarantees regarding searches, seizures and invasions of privacy was swept out the window approximately 5 years and 11 months ago regardless of skin color.

Another brainwashed citizen. You must have received your JD in a box of Cracker Jacks.
Refuse, refuse, refuse!
Unless there was something inside the car, in plain view that could establish probable cause, that an illegal act had taken place, the officer had no basis to seach the car.
58 YOA and still tired of the police trying to take away my personal Liberties!
FWIW, A nice suburban home owner, gainfully employed and paying my taxes.

well its just funny, lots of ppl in north america seem to think that pakistani's/afghans/iranians are Arabs. The moral is you can be both dark skinned, and muslim, and not be an arab! fascinating stuff.

when i read he had a pakistani drivers license i thought "wow that is awesome that some young arab kid came to america, made a fortune playing poker, drives a bmw, and smokes pot". finding out that he is really mexican is sooo disappointing.

What if Ozzy was acting nervous and jittery when the cop asked him if he could search his car and he said no? The cop then calls the K9 unit and has a drug sniffing dog show up. In most, if not all states, if the dog "hits" on the car they have the right to search it. Just because you don't give them the consent to search your car doesn't mean they can't/won't come up with a reason to do it.

Once the cops are done asking you questions all you need to do is ask if they are detaining you. If not, you can go. If they are and they don't have probable cause for doing so they're in deep [censored].

Do you really think that's how it works in the real world? My mom is a retired police officer. I got to ride with her many times when I was younger. Believe me, 99% of the people that think they can "beat" the cops lose.

In theory what you're saying should be true but it isn't. Who do you think the courts are going to believe...the cop or the guy who was driving like a maniac, speeding, carrying false ID, in possession of illegal drugs and paraphernalia and tested positive? My $$ goes on the cop.

I'm not trying to get in a pissing contest with anyone but some people can be naive about how things work in the real world.

100% accurate. Though it's still correct to refuse a search.

"If they are and they don't have probable cause for doing so they're in deep [censored]." = naive.

99% of the time nothing bad will happen to a cop for doing this, except maybe getting yelled at by their superior. The only way a cop would get in trouble for this is if someone sued them. Few people would waste money on suing a cop for no benefit to themselves.

You know you're officially a baller when you tell the cops you are, they ask the FBI, and the Feds agree.

Another reason not to consent to a search of your car. Speeding turns into a drug DUI.

Seriously, people just don't understand that you don't need to give a cop everything they want. Don't give them [censored].

> consenting to the chemical test was fatal.

At least for this, I doubt he had a choice after the weed was found in the car. In many states, it's handled the same way as alcohol: if you are suspected of drinking and driving (i.e., under the influence), you are obligated to take a breathalyzer (you can refuse, but guilt is assumed by law when you do this).

The law does not make assumptions, this is 100% not true.
