A REASONABLE STEP: Search and seizure...

[ENTHUSIAST]

...Reaffirmation welcomed



This is an article from the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper that I saved from last week sorry about the delay in posting.

Good.

Although, there seem to be fairly easy ways around this.
1) if the car is being impounded (as is usual in a case like this) - implement a policy that contents be cataloged. Much the way the contents of your person are cataloged and recorded when you're taken to jail.

2) find a bag of blow during the cataloging process? That's possession. Much the same way if they find that same bag of blow in your *** cheeks during the check-in strip search, it's still possession.

3) if anyone argues this is simply side-stepping the law, it's not. In fact, you're applying the law evenly to both person and property. Again, on booking you're searched and your possessions cataloged before they taken into police custody. Your vehicle is simply another possession that is to be cataloged before taken into custody.

Another law sidestepped.

Who the heck catalogues all the possessions in a car? A friend of mine had his car impounded and got it back sans his toolbox, iPod, and camera. When he asked where the items were, they said they are not responsible for items left in the car, and further more they told him that if we secured every vehicle we impound, we would need twice as many people.
