[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1814760, member: 936"] OK, let us assume that I get pulled over on the highway for a headlight being out. Two friends in the back seat have been at the clubs and are a bit tipsy, but I am the designated driver and haven't had anything to drink. Police officer claims that the car "reeks of alcohol" and says "Do you have any objection to me searching your car. And if you do, we are going to be here for a long time." I know I can say "no" to the search request. I also know that some LEOs will take their time running a check on my car, etc while calling in for a canine car and the canine will "alert" thus giving them probable cause. What should I say? No, I do not give you permission to search my car. But what after that? Something like "Am I being detained for anything?". I know he could have administered a field sobriety test, but that would not have given him a positive as there was no alcohol involved in the driver's bloodstream. Thanks BTW, it wasn't me but three of my staff. Dave [/QUOTE]
