answered on Oct 14, 2015

Because you did not provide the language that you want an explanation for, an attorney would have to look it up. That takes time. This is more than a basic question about the law. Go see a local attorney if it is important enough for you to pay for actual advice.

Q: Can the cops search you if u look suspicious
Robert Jason De Groot
Robert Jason De Groot
answered on Oct 10, 2015

What are the facts? This happens all the time, doesn't it? It later can turn upon what the cop wrote in the police report. There must be objective criteria for the search. It cannot be just for looking suspicious. Suspicions have to be within certain parameters to become probable cause.
