Default Re: Such a Heat Score

Also, if they do not have probable cause that a crime has been committed then you have the right to refuse search without a warrant. Most people screw up by waiving that right.
In the case of the NOPD it probably wouldn't have done much good to protest. When we were visiting New Orleans a cop stole $700 from my friend's wallet and then split his lip on the hood of the car and took him to jail for complaining about it.
For me, the experience with having a nice car has been the opposite. I got pulled over all the time for no reason in my '79 that was in perfect mechanical condition but needed paint bad. In my '00 I never get hassled. May also have to do with the fact that I am not a teenager anymore.
