My question is about the practice of an officer asking you to leave your vehicle. Say you where pulled over and office says you where speeding or that your car license is expired. They ask you to step back to the patrole car as they fill out the ticket. Do you have to leave your vehicle and do as the officer says or can you simply decline to do so? |
My response:
The U.S. Constitution says that every citizen has a right to "be secure in his possessions."
So, the next time you get pulled over, you can disobey the cop and stay in your car - - while the tow truck is taking it to the impound yard.
