Donut pass Go

Today, I came through a DUI checkpoint. The trooper noticed some donuts I had. He asked, "Are those donuts?" Jokingly, I replied, "Yes. Why? Are you going to confiscate them?" He didn't see the humor and pulled me off to the side to have a team search my truck. FML

They can't search it without probable cause. Donuts do not count as probable cause no matter how much they want them to.

making cop jokes at a cop may not have been the best idea.

its a trooper not a cop dumbasses, that is why the trooper got pissed because that joke only applies to cops.

it was a trooper not a cop, that is why the trooper did not find it funny because the joke was designed for cops.

I'm not a lawyer, but I did play one on TV....:-) While you don't have to consent to the search, there's nothing stopping the cops from dragging out the procedure, taking you to the precinct for questioning, and whatnot. Sure it sounds like harassment, but they can get away with it if they're following the protocol.

Thank you for being the one person on this site who knows what he's talking about. Vehicles don't fall under regular search warrant laws because the vehicle can easily be driven away and disappear in the time it takes to obtain a search warrant.

that is true but all vehicles can be found by vin which the cop shoulda been smart enough to write down if they are going to get a search warrant

OP I think you're the one missing the joke here!

im sure he knew you were joking, he didn't have 2 be a jerk. i guess they get so used to dealing with awful people all day, they probably are looking for something to be mad about and are just way too defensive. i can understand... think of all the idiots they see. still though.

Your an idiot to let them search your truck, you need a warrant to do so, your fault.

Actually, 82 all that is needed is reasonable suspicion, to search a car. . .Which is pretty easy to get at a DUI checkpoint. To a judge in that situation, especially a DUI checkpoint, all that needs to be said to defend himself is "The driver was coming home at a late hour on a road that is a known path on the way home from many bars - The driver made many mocking comments during a serious discussion and I was lead to believe he was intoxicated."
