Kansas v Glover
Carroll v United States
Husty v United States
Colorado v Bannister
There's others. And all uphold the right to search vehicles for the same reason that this vehicle search went down.
Because the cops were dicks?
So are you now admit that the cops escalated the encounter to engineer an excuse to search the car? Do you think they did that because if they found drugs they could steal the car...er "seize" the vehicle for the benefit of their po-leese department?
Why, then, do you "feel" they deliberately escalated the incident? What did they hope to gain by it, do you know? There had to be reason why they acted so improperly?
In the initial reason to stop the vehicle, what did the instigating "cop" see that justified the deployment of lethal weapons?
Why did he not, immediately upon stopping his patrol car behind the victim's vehicle, simply get out of the car and approach the driver's window? That would certainly have prevented an endless set of stairs from. rising out of the basement.
The "cops" performed their jobs poorly here. Stop blaming the victim. The "cops" here were an embarrassment to professional law enforcement officers everywhere.
