FruDaddy said:It is my understanding that the police can hold a person for a set amount of time without charging that person with anything. Often when a person tells a tale, that person will alter parts of the story to appear more like a victim.
Perhaps, and this is only speculation, this couple were being beligerant. Being that this couple were coming from a sporting event, it is quite possible that one, or both, of them had been drinking. If the officer had detected the presence of alcohol, he might have questioned the odor. It is possible that the lack of charges was and act of kindness and the overnight stay was a sobering exercise.
robwbright said:You are never required to consent to a search. If a police officer has a search warrant, you must permit the search. However, if a search warrant has not yet been obtained, you should insist the officer obtain one before you voluntarily allow a search. The fact that you insist upon a search warrant does not mean you have something to hide. Rather, it is a confirmation of the constitutional concept that police do not have the right to arbitrarily conduct searches of your property.
It's that way in Georgia too you wouldn't beleive some of the b.s laws around herels1cameric said:Yeah thats supposed to be the case. They CAN search your property for probable cause. Meaning that if they ask to search your car and you refuse, then your obviously hiding something and therefore they have "probable cause" to search w/out a warrant being issued.
I know from personal experience. maybe thats just Texas though.
