Ok.. here's the story - My boyfriend was driving my car to my sister house. When he pulled onto her street he noticed police cars parked at both ends of the street. He thought nothing of it. He pulled into my sister's driveway parked the car and got out. Just as he was walking away from the car up to the house the police cars drove in the driveway and attempted to question him. He refused to answer any of their questions and continue walking up to the door. At that point 4 officers surrounded him and asked for a drivers license and for the keys to the car. He responded by saying this is not a legitimate traffic stop and told them that they don't even have their red/blue flashing light on. The police response was "they didn't want to wake the neighbors." Yeah right, sounds like BS to me. Anyways, they asked for the keys to the car and he refused to give them to him. The officer said that he stopped him because the license plate light was out. He tells them that there is no license plate light on the car. The police then snatches the keys out of his hands and starts to search the car with one of their dogs. Upon searching the car they find marijuana and cocaine. My question...isn't this an illegal search and seizure? 1) the car was not made to have a license plate light therefore they have no reason for their contact with him since he did not violate any traffic laws, 2) he was not in the car anymore when they approached him, and 3) the drugs were not found on him but in the car which belongs to me. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, my sis was a witness to all this. When she opened her door to see who was in her driveway, they made her close her door but she looked from the window anyway.
