hello all, i am new to this place- please help me out. here's the problem: two fresno police officers in fresno california stopped me for a missing front license's plate. they gave me a warning saying that i should have my car license's plate on the front of my car and not on the windsheild. i had the license's plate on my windsheild because it was loosed and would fall off. after the warning, i went to mc donald to pick up some burgers, and was heading back to the motel i was staying at. it has only been a 15 mins difference, and while coming back to the motel, i was stopped again by two police officers. these two officers gave me a citation for my missing front plate and also searched my car. i was not speeding nor doing anything wrong, i was stopped twice in 15 mins and was given a warning, then a citation. not only that, the two officers who stopped me at the 2nd time searched my car. i was just wondering- when do an officer have the right to search your car and when do they not have the right to search your car? please, can someone help me out on this. just because my car has stickers on it, and it's fully stock- they couldn't find nothing on my car nor in my car, yet they have claim to find an intake in my car. i just like to know- do police officers in california have the right to search your car because you have stickers/logo on it? do they have the right to search your car, just because you took off the front plate, if not- it would have fallen off?
