Pulled over

Yesterday I was pulled over for a traffic violation. It was a female officer. I went through the usual routine, license, registration, etc...but for some reason, the officer want to search me and my car. Thinking I had nothing to hide, I submitted to the search. All would have been fine, had I not been wearing a very soaked diaper. Anyway, as the officer was patting me down, she ran her hands up my legs, near my crotch. I felt her hand rub up against my diaper. She said, "What's thi..." My face turned red. She then apologized and let me off with just a warning. But I have never been so humiliated in my life. Anybody else had run-ins with the law while diapered?

Actually, If you step out of the vehicle at all, they can search you and your vehicle...at least in MS anyway...

I got pulled over and searched just the other day, cause when i was pulled over, I stepped out of the vehicle, because my windows dont roll down...although I had no embarrassing things on or in the car...so they didnt get anything on me...

The 'official' reason was my tag light was broken, but my car doesnt even have a tag light, I suspect the real reason was I was going about ten miles under the speed limit, which is a classic sign of drunk driving, only I was doing it cause my window was incredibly fogged up and I could hardly see...also It was about three in the morning...

But, like I said they had nothing on me...and they can search you if you get out of the vehicle, supposedly for 'their own safety'...

Okay yall, this is something I am very familiar with. 1st off if a cop asks to search you or your vehicle and you grant them permission. They can search. If they find something (i.e. drugs, guns, or other contraband) You can and mostly will be arrested and charged (yes it is admissible in court). However, you can terminate the search at anytime. (Unless they have already found your drug stash, in that case your screwed) If your stopped and Arrested for example a DUI/DWI. The Officer is going to search you incident to Arrest and the lunge area of your vehicle (the area with in your reach) In some states the trunk and other locked areas you neead a warrant, probable cause or the permission of the driver to get into. even if you are arrested. However in Arizona they have gotten around this because the Officer has to inventory the cars property. So in the course of an inventory of a vehicle and something illegal is found it would be seized as evidence.

Bottom line here is if you are stopped for a moving violation (ie speeding, equipment violation) and the officer asks to search your car you can tell them NO! The officer also has the legal authority to get you and your passengers out of the vehicle if for no other reason because they want to.

If a Officer asks you to get out of your vehicle they may want to pat you down for weapons. There is a legal difference between "Pat Downs" and "Searches". A Pat down is a pat down of the outer clothing only. They wouldn't be able to open your jacket or coat or reach into your pockets. A Search is a lot more invasive and the officer must have Probable Cause, Incident to Arrest, Warrant or your permission, they can and will open jackets and get into your pockets(At least they should).

People do some research on your own and know your Constitutional Rights.

This post is by no means the Gospel on Searches. There are differences with in the States and Agencies have policies in place that could differ as well.

DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE UNLESS THE OFFICER ASKS/TELLS YOU TO DO SO!!!

I know traffic stops are nerve racking events but don't make it worse by putting the officer on edge by getting out of your vehicle on your own.

Another tip for when your pulled over, Tell the person your on the phone with you will call them back(Get Off the Damn Phone) Turn your radio off (The officer doesn't went to talk/yell over your tunes). At night still do the above things and add turning on your interior lights.

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, if you have questions about this post. Post me a Message or send me an E-mail. I will do the very best I can to answer your questions. I hope I didn't bore you to death with this. Take care.

If they ask you to get out of your car, get out and LOCK YOUR CAR. Getting out of the car does not give them permission to search it.

See this from the ACLU. It is 45 minutes on Youtube, and VERY WORTHWHILE watching.

I am really sorry about my poor writing. I normally don't have such poor grammar, However I had been up all day and wrote the post at 3 am or so. 😉

Wow, how embaressing. did you have to tell her you were wearing a diaper and that it was wet. You are lucky you were JUST wet. Also, you could have been wearing a skirt in which case she would have slipped her hand right up between your legs and felt your diaper. God, I wish that would happen to me lol, but I hate dealing with cops.

Well I had a suspended lisense and got pulled over after it had got re-enstated but for some reason it didn't register in the system. The officer patted me down and ran his fingers along my waistband which clearly exposed my diaper then took me down to the station for booking.

Years ago i was with friends out drinking and we were pulled over at a D.U.I. checkpoint.the guy driving was not drinking but one guy was puking into a plastic trash bag.

we were all told to get out of the truck. as we were all lined up alongside the truck we were searched (i was using canes and long leg braces due to a spinal cord injury) when it was my turn to be searched the cop felt my crotch and asked "what is this in your crotch?" i just told him it was a very wet adult diaper and asked if he would like to see it? i'm handicapped DUHH!!!

the cop just looked startled and told us to get back into the truck and leave. i think the cop really wanted to just go find a place to wash his hands
