I may have had a homemade suppressor for my .22 in there. So I was getting a little nervous. Finally they put the gun back in my trunk and let me on my way, sans ticket. I very well could have been sitting in county had they found a suppressor in there.
How so?
I'm fairly certain that the advice to "say x and shut up" was recommending that the stopped individual shut up, not to tell the police officer "shut up".Last time I told a cop to shut up, he pitched a fit like a sleepy 2 year old.
since you can't prove who you are or have the registration, I would like to see what is in the trunk".
Generally no, but with reasonable cause he/she can.
Here's an example:
Years back a cop stopped me for not completely stopping at a stop sign.
I didn't have my license or registration and he said, in so many words, "since you can't prove who you are or have the registration, I would like to see what is in the trunk".
He said this after looking into the interior of the car.
I said ok and he looked into the trunk.
