Can a cop make you open a locked box?

yea they need a warrent same with the trunk i believe

 

what linux said, assuming jay-z was right in his song.

 

I dunno but if they needed to get a warrant to open a safe what if you had another safe inside of it? Would they need to get another warrant?

 

i believe they would need a warrant for every locked item they wanted to have opened. someone correct me if im wrong

 

That, my friend, is a very good question.

 

They're supposed to get a warrant, but they won't.

 

thats what you call illegal search an seizure then its easy to get the case thrown out

 

Arent they allowed to open the box if they have probably cause. Like your drunk or something. I was caught hotboxing my car infront of school and when the cops came they searched my whole car for drug paraphenilia.

 

ha ha like a medical seizure lol that would be a funny sight

 

haha wow dude.. no seizing something is taking it.. so if a cop takes your shit illegally after conducting an illegal search, its called illegal search and seizure. he wasnt suggesting that the guy have a seizure to get ouf of the ticket... lol

 

Not so much with locked boxes, there have been many, many court cases about it, different outcomes in them.

Your on school property, what the fuck are rights???

 

no when they get a warrant they say what they are looking for on it, when the judge signs it they can search everything you own, your house, your car, your boat, your wifes car, and even your girlfriends house that you pay for.

nope.

this is probably what will happen, when you do shit like that it pisses cops off.

no its not, the cops will probably just throw the safe out and say they saw it under your seat.

funny shit.

 

cops can do anything they want

 

Burst my bubble but I guess it was for the better.

 

Can't a cop say that you consented to a search?

Your word against his...

I think there should be more laws FOR cops. They get PAID BY THE PEOPLE to not fuck with innocent individuals. Yet, they still can do whatever they want(including murder) and get a paid vacation as punishment. I can't wait until a group/groups of people in each town get so pissed off that they will hold monthly cop killing rallies

Edit-Haven't found anything that mentions anything about anything locked, so either it doesn't matter or I haven't found it yet.

 

Unless you're in hick town where they do what the want and the judge is the cop's cousin and uncle

 

If you were carrying something like a camera bag and a cop asked to search you, what would happen if you said,"This is my camera bag officer, as you see I keep camera equipment in here", and then opened your bag to pull out a camera but leaved several compartments closed - would that basically give your consent to the officer and permit a search?

What if I said, "You do not have my consent to a search", but took out several items to show him what was in your bag?

Would that, in principle, be consenting to a search despite the obvious verbal statement?

 

isnt there something called probable cause (cant remember the real name) where if anything illegal is in line of sight they have the ability to arrest, search and seize without a warrant?
