Flow, it's only locked compartments of vehicles which warrants are required for.
Mabakhurts, you mention probable cause but what probable cause did they have? There's no way that your plates not having lights would count as probable cause to search a vehicle under suspicion of possession of marijuana. The only evidence they had was the evidence you gave them when you said you'd been smoking and had weed on you, then proceeded to tell them where everything was.
Verdict: Not a good move. Hopefully next time you'll handle it a little better. Read up on your rights man.
In answer to your question, no, it wont be thrown out.

none the less, it doesn't disqualify anything he said... so when's your court date/and or did you get to go against it yet?

Now now, we're talking about marijuana possession.
If you are also referring to this, then i see no difference at all between the English working and middle classes.

Oh no, everyone certainly has it better in England with regards to drug laws.

Go make a thread if you want to start a debate on the economic policies of England.
On topic: no prosecutor in this country is going to miss the chance to prosecute. If they have enough evidence, they're not going to throw out shit.
When the going gets weird, the werid turn pro.

I was actually agreeing with him while being under the impression that he meant it's better in England. While my last post may come off as sarcasm, I was serious: drugs just don't seem to be as big a deal there.
Agreed on the latter point, though.

If somebody does not make a thread on the economic policies of England, i'll probably do it at some point.

Re: Got busted, but could it be thrown out?
If I understand correctly , you were pulled over for the back plate lights being out, and you gave permission for the cops to search your vehicule. At the time that he pulled you over, the cop didn't have probable cause to search your vehicule, but you gave in and allowed him to search due to him talking about calling in dogs. Had you refused a search, he couldn't have searched. But he still could have called in the dogs....they don't need probable cause to sniff a car, the alert the dog would give if drugs are present is their probable cause. But, who's to say if he really would have called in dogs? It may well have been only scare tactics...which worked. You were pulled over for back plate lightst, not front plates. Any issue with the front plates has nothing to do with the situation, so no it won;'t get thrown out for that
