stupid cop is that reason to search?

[hipchic]

What is the name of your state?Arizona

I was followed into a seven eleven parking lot ( not actually stopped)A cop pulled right behind me .I had a temporary 3 day permit in rear window .I have a Toyota Lexus I called DMV and asked them what I should put for MAKE of car and they said (I have a recording of DMV saying this) The Make is Toyota and the Model is Lexus when I was filling the form out it asked the make and body style ( not make and model ) I put Toyota for the make and 4Dr for body style. The cop pulled me over because the 3day tag said Toyota and she believed the car to be a lexus .I was handcuffed & arrested for knowing and willing displaying fictitious plates. I was then searched and she found about ten cents of meth .She then searched my car and purse and found about ten cents again( I told her I was not consenting to the search of my car) My question is do you think I can win a motion to suppress hearing?

The car is a Lexus. The tags say Toyota. The police officer had probable cause to detain you and tow your car. This will allow a search of yourslef and an inventory search of the vehicle.

However, due to the DMV's confusion and your complete misunderstanding of what kind of car you own, you would have probably beaten the charges.

But, of course you are a druggie who had 2 separate bags of meth that were found during these searches. Good luck in jail.

Sounds like a case of dumb cop, dumber driver. Maybe someone should make a movie.
