Just got a ticket for this.

I'll concede that the officer probably had something better to do...

The thought that asking you to let him search your vehicle is not out of the question. You CAN refuse. It is your right to refuse an unlawful search and seizure absolutely. However, if I rollup on you, and you've got something wrong with the vehicle or are displying some sort of sign that something might be a bit off...I'll pull you over too.

Okay, I get you pulled over, I walk up on the vehicle and start talking to you. There are certain behaviors which might give me the reason to be suspicious of the situation. Admittedly, eyelids aren't at the top of offenses...

out of curiosity, with the sound system, what exactly were the police supposed to do? Post a guard around your vehicle? Were they supposed to police your stereo behaviors? Were they supposed to make sure you didn't put stickers on your vehicle tha advertised the fact that you have a bunch of equipment in the vehicle? Were they supposed to double check the installation of the stereo so as to make sure it was unremovable? ...or did you want them to call CSI Oklahoma City in there and break out the DNA analysis and blacklights?

...After all, it is their fault your stereo was stolen. Damned police! Having to let out all the crackheads and car thieves because they aren't allowed to check in the criminal's vehicles when they pull them over for having eyelids that are illegal...

Do you peeps even realize how much crime is stopped by these tertiary stops? What exactly is wrong for the police to make stops like this? Yeah it's annoying. But if you have nothing to hide, what's the issue?

If we don't like the laws, change them! If you don't like your car being broken into, change the sentencing laws. Make it a judge dread situation. Let's execute a crackhead.
