Yes, I do dislike cops and the traffic "court" system. Since when was the 5th perjury. Speaking of rights, carry drugs in your car without a ho to pin it on. Do not censent to any searches and remain silent.

Please take the time to proofread your posts. The inability to speak your mother tongue would have people think you a moron.

Further, I wasn't talking about you. There are many things that happen everyday that have absolutely nothing to do with you... especially on someone else's thread.

I'm not speaking my Mother tongue. I'm trying to write it! Big diferrence between speaking and writting. Hit quote for the wrong post. I stayed on topic. Plus think I was the first in pointing out the purpose of this law.

Hemmingway, used poor gramar on purpose in order to peeve his editors and snobish thinking their superior, people kind of like you.

So is I wrong about thinking the OP's law question is not about. Passenger's in your car dumping their drugs when cops do a traffic stop. The drug drop is not known by the driver, so when the cops find it, you can blame it on the passenger?

O.k, I was wrong, about why OP asked. But my explanation for the purpose of the law is correct. Back on topic. I keep my trunk locked.

Remember the only reason the police want to perform a searches is for evidence of criminal activity, and the fact if he (women should not be cops) is asking reflects an expectation that he will find some. If the police officer has the legal authority to perform the search, he will do so, with your permission or not. No legal authority to perform a search, your consent gives him that authority. So don't give that authority even if pulled over with a known "prostitute". Its easier to challenge when a cop pretends he has authority, even if it appears they do. Cops are not as smart as some people think!

Unless you are the only person with access to the interior of your car, you may be in for a surprise if you grant permission for a search. Keep the good stuff in the trunk (locked) and only have things in the interior when a suspected "prostitute" is riding dirty with you.

The police have the authority to perform a search of a suspect and his immediate surroundings, "incident" to the arrest of the suspect. If the police arrest a person who was driving a car, they ordinarily get the authority to search the entire passenger compartment of the car - and will usually also be able to search passengers for weapons. If the car is impounded, the police may perform an "inventory search" of the entire car, including the contents of the trunk.

Don't make it easy for them keep the trunk locked.

Of course. It's not to find interior decorating or vehicle accessorizing tips.

and the fact if he (women should not be cops)

And why is that, pray tell?

And, if you are arrested for solicitation of a prostitute, that trunk will probably get searched pursuant to an impound inventory.

WTF happened to this thread?!? Hookers and blow? I don't think so.

The reason I'm asking is because my brother-in-law and his friend both got caught with 2 separate bags. His friend was driving, but they still took my in-law's license, too (didn't get thrown in jail, tho)!! I know another guy that got arrested for driving with a joint in his car; they threw him in jail, but they didn't take his license away. Strange stuff to take a person's license away that wasn't even driving, but whatever.

So their logic is that if you have it in the trunk, the punishment is even worse than if it were in the same area of the car as the passengers (cab). I understood that the heavier punishment for having it in the cab was reduced to the lesser punishment if there were less than 30g in the trunk, which the cops shouldn't even be able to get into anyway.

Anyway... I asked a pretty clear question, IMHO...

In Mississippi, if one has less than 30g in his trunk... what is the penalty? Is it different from being inside or outside the cab of a vehicle? The info I've found on NORML is confusing me.

So... again, I'm assuming that 30g or less in the trunk means you won't get thrown in jail, you'll get to keep your license, and you'll have to pay 10% to 25% of the fine you'd have to pay if it were in the cab of the vehicle. Extremely st00pit to me, but at least I'll educate my friends to be a little less st00pit about the law.

I would not say because the drugs are in the trunk, you will not get thrown in jail. You could also still loose your license. Twice I mention the same federal law in a post. Certain drug offense (determined by individual states) by federal statute on road traffic make license suspension mandatory. Second some states have vehicle seizure laws for drug offenses. It's nicer for a state to seize a driver's license over Mom or Dad's car when junior gets busted while driving it with drugs. Also makes it harder for junior to pin drugs found in the trunk of a car on family who have access to the same vehicle.

I have a sense of humor. Hooker is an o.k example of being able as owner of a car to say the drugs found in the car are hers not mine. It's also possible if Dad gets found with a joint in the passenger area. To say junior borrowed the car and must have left it. Junior could also say the same thing. Its Dad's car he must have left the dope.

Doubt full and in my opinion, that this law helps in getting a lower punishment if drugs found in the trunk. Id tell your friends to ask a lawyer before trying anything found on the net or when interpreting laws found even on the governments website.
