If the officer asked if you had *** in the vehicle and you stated
"yes", then that is all that is required to validate a search. At that
point he has reason to believe there are *** in the vehicle. If no
*** were found he CAN'T cite you for possession, but he CAN cite you
for giving false information. You just flat-out LIED to him. Same goes
if you lie about your name, address, etc. If I tell the police that
you're carrying *** and you turn out to be clean, I can be arrested
for giving false information to a police officer IF they can prove that
I knew you were clean all along. So how does the police officer know
you were lying?? He doesn't, but since you are the one driving and are
responsible for the vehicle you should be aware of the contents. So, he
writes the citation and you go to court. Don't believe me??? Try it
sometime.
