i'm fairly new to this forum and this question might have been asked before. Please indulge me one more time. Here's the scenario: Motorist is pulled over by police for speeding. Courtesies are exchanged and motorist declares up front they have a CCW (recent lessons being learned from officer Harless and Canton, Ohio, PD). Officer asks driver if a weapon is either on the driver's person or somewhere in the vehicle. The driver replies no to both. The officer requests to search vehicle and driver denies request and tells officer to get a warrant and explains to officer that he was pulled over for speeding and will continue to be compliant and behave properly but a search is out of the question without a warrant to search for a weapon. Would appreciate feedback with the full understanding that theoretical questions and the reality of the actual situation are mutually exclusive.
