I am in california my husband was pulled over because the truck had expired tags by 3 days. We got the dmv temporary tag and the needed smog check completed just waiting for office hours to open to finish the process. My husbands license is valid, we have insurance, were not speeding, and he checked out to not have any warrants. Shouldn't we have been free to go since everything was cleared and found to be legal? I can understand the law perhaps can inforce asking if passengers are on probation or parole which they are subject to search and seizure. But if no one is on probation or parole and subject to following those guidelines and rules, is it legal to require passengers to hand over their identifications when the purpose of being pulled over has been already dealt with and cleared up with no citations or infractions given to the driver?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE LAW HERE?
