you should never allow the police or any

law enforcement officer to search your

vehicle what the police do is expand the

scope of the traffic stop and they

inquire is to criminal activity that’s

not justified by the initial purpose of

the stop so unless they have a warrant

to search your vehicle you should never

give consent and allow law enforcement

to search your vehicle there’s a line of

cases in Minnesota um State versus aser

tooth and State versus wgard which

stands for the proposition that if the

police pull you over for say speeding

they can’t go beyond the scope of that

speeding stop unless they have objective

evidence that the person who they pulled

over is engaged in criminal activity so

they can’t come up and ask do you have

drugs in the car do you have weapons in

the car that kind of thing unless they

have objective evidence that justifies

that expansion of the sto of scope
