My sixteen year old son was driving my car(Father) to his sisters house to spend the night.Obviously they CAN do it if they DID do it.
If you want to know whether the search complied with the 4th Amendment you'll have to provide a lot more details about the reason for the stop and what ensued.

The police confronted him
noticed empty packs of cigarettes in the car.
Is it illegal for a 16-year old to smoke in your city/state?
My son was parking my car (I smoke) at his sisters house when a police car came and approached him because he was in front of a dumpster. He got out of the car to check the front for a noise he heard.Is it illegal for a 16-year old to smoke in your city/state?
We filed a motion to suppress but the judge won't rule till trial.
He was driving my car (father).That's how the system works, mate.
You cannot rush them.
Once they nab you, you play by their rules.
Good news for your son, he's in Juvie Court.
Once the authorities have completed their investigative probing, the case will very likely be dismissed.
The only issue is that "pipe" and what it was found to have contained.
Otherwise, I don't see an illegal search, because the stories told by the police present will substantiate their every action.
I suspect it might even be found that the kid reluctantly allowed or agreed to the search.
Oddly enough, a juvenile can't give such permission.
That's why you wait patiently and see what is revealed at the next hearing.
I predict the pipe will eventually be problematic for someone.
Hmmm, you did say the kid was driving your car, right?
He was driving my car (father).
The judge won't schedule a hearing on our motion but wants to wait for the trial.
This trial will cost him $1000.if he loses and the fine is $200.
Need to know if there is cases like this to present as case law
