California.
My friend was a passenger when the driver was pulled over for a broken lighttail. The police asked both of them if they were on probation- the driver said no but since my friend was he answered honestly. He was then searched and they arrested him for paraphenelia and a small amount of methamphetemine.
1st question: Was it appropriate for the police to ask that question about the probation?
2nd question: Was it a legal for the police to search him for answering that question?
Somehow it doesn't seem right that as a result of being honest and a passenger minding his own business, he is now in jail because his friend was stopped for a broken light tail.
And my biggest on going question is: How is it that one can get a felony for doing what one want with one's body? I cannot see how that goes against the 4th 5th ++amendments -basically your constitutional rights for privacy. Meanwhile the arsenist, the pediphiler, the rapest, the theif, the mugger, the wife beater and any other mal-intent malicious low lives can get away with murder (pun intended) and a lesser charge. I really don't get it. the law is making criminals out of innocent people who just want a peace of mind and have found it in a nowhere, noway method. tHANK you for your attention to my problem and letting my rave my thougts.
