Give that Deputy an “A+” in Anatomy! Of course he is going to find a “crack” betwen buttocks. Finding drugs there is a bonus.

When did a civil infraction stop for speeding turn into a criminal stop where the police could strip search a speeding driver on the side of the road? See Arizona v. Gant (April 2009 and read more about the limitations placed on police officers http://www.kpmlaw.com/_blog/Criminal_Traffic_Blog/post/New_Supreme_Court_Case_On_Vehicle_Searches/

The United States Supreme Court recently re-wrote the law on search and seizure regarding vehicles. Now, if a police officer pulls you over for a traffic violation and then removes you from your vehicle and handcuffs you, he can not then go back into the car to search for drugs and guns (or any other evidence).

The old law gave the officers the right to always search the passenger compartment of your vehicle after the arrest in order to look for guns or drugs (or other evidence) that could be destroyed. The logic was that the officers need to protect themselves and preserve any evidence that the arrestee might destroy. In the Supreme Court case of Arizona v. Gant (April 2009), Mr. Gant had an outstanding warrant for driving on a suspended license and that his license was suspended. When he was pulled over, he exited his vehicle and was immediately placed in handcuffs and then secured in the back of the officer’s patrol car. The officer then went and searched Gant’s car and found a firearm and cocaine in the passenger compartment.

This case will be tossed or the guy may be stupid enough to plead guilty!

I bet he claimed it wasn’t his crack and he didn’t know how it got there.
