Do they need any sort of paper warrant to search your personal belongings such as your pockets and everything, or can they just do it whenever they feel like?

well if you are in the us then you are talking about what is called a terry stop. this comes from a supreme court case called terry vs ohio. basically anytime a cop is dealing with you, he may search you for the sole purpose of officer safety. that means weapons. now during the course of this bullshit search he might reach into your pocket and find your crack and that is legal.

number one advice that i can give anybody, put your crack or what not in your sock. police have the right to search for safety. no business in your siock. where i live they are always asking to take your shoes off. i ask them to first take their gun off. lol

the laws are vague, vague enough that people let cops search them probably way too often, if you know your rights then they tend to back off, its all about what you let them do. Cops need probable cause to search your person, then again, the damn pigs can just make up some probable cause, if your stopped by the police, dont let them search you, they will try to turn this back on you but just say you believe in your constitutional rights, then asked if your being detained, if you arent, then walk away lol you should just get on a medical marijuana site like safeaccess.org or something and study your rights and how to conduct yourself when dealing with these tricky pigs...

sorry zig zag but that is not true. all a cop has to do is walk up to you and talk to you. hey how are you, you dont mind if i pat you down for weapons do you. if you say no he can still pat you down for officer safety without a warrant. without probable cause without anything. terry v ohio

also, your car is a funny thing, nowadays, and this is also backed up by case law from the us supreme court, as long as they are not holding you longer than it takes to wriute a you your ticket, they can do an open air search of your car by a k-9. the k-9 handler can then make his dog alert ot your car. good luck proving that he did this. watch barry cooper for more on this.

once the dog has alerted on your vehicle they may search yor vehicle by hand. if your glove box is locked they wil need a warrant. if they pop your trunk it is well within there rights to do so. same with the hood. locked boxes and briefcases need a special warrant.

im sorry i cant quote the case. the gist of it is that since the dog is not actually searching, it is merely detecting the presence or non presence of an illegal substance, then it is not ian invasion of your privacy.

this is one of the most dangerous supreme court rulings in recent history but you never hear anyonr talk about it. there really is nothing stopping the police from walking around your houdse with a k9 and then obtaining pc.
