Agreed it is legal to STOP the vehicle. Not make an illegal search.
Run a red light? Prepare to get searched!
Make a turn without using your blinker? Prepare to get searched!
Why else do you think people always throw out their drugs when they are about to get pulled over?

So, what would you know about U.S.A. Law?

Its a shame, they should have better trained boarder guards!
Making up stories after the fact, don't cut it.
Making up facts that don't fit the story don't cut it either. Try to pay a little closer attention before commenting.

Sorry Tom, you are incorrect. They still have to have show probable cause. The courts usually make it very easy for them to come up with something.

If you run a red light, they still have to validate the probable cause to make a legal search. Many times they will just say you have a tail light out, or claim they smell marijuana. Even though they don't.

This has no bearing on my statement since a person could do many things before and after stopping at the lights that could cause an officer to pull them over. If they didn't then an officer wouldn't pull them over.
If an officer did search their car it wouldn't be called an "illegal search" it would be called attempted strong armed robbery.
Like I stated before, if an officer pulls you over prepare to be searched. Most officers won't unless you give them reason but they have every right to do so.

Has anyone here seen what drug sniffing dogs are trained to do when they are alerted to the scent of drugs? The last time I checked, dogs don't get excited and start scratching and yelping that they found something. they just sit. That's all. No excitement there at all.
Added note. Well trained dogs have one tremendous track record for finding illegal ...[text shortened]... ent.
It's not a crime to be an a$$, it is a crime not to follow a direct lawful order.
