Search and seizure at a club

can a bouncer at a club go into your pokets while intering a club

A club is private property. You don't have to let them search you, but they can make the search a condition of letting you into the club.

If you don't like the club's search policies, they can tell you to go somewhere else.

can a bouncer go into a person coat if nothing hard is felt

If you consented to the search, sure. If not, you would presumably have been asked to leave.

Sure.

If he physically forced you against a wall to search you, then you can check with the police on the off chance they will file battery or false imprisonment carges. If no force was used or the police blow off your complaint, then you can choose not to go back to that club.

Your question has been answered twice by two of the best minds on this forum.

What is it exactly that you do not understand?

Was this a "consented" pat down?

The bouncer is simply an employee of the venue? In such a case the bouncer is not a state actor, so even if the search were deemed improper it would not justify the suppression of the marijuana as evidence in a criminal prosecution.

What happen was that the bouncer went into my coat and to a bag that contained a few bags of weed, then gave it to the cop and I was arrested. so I need to know if the bouncer was allowed to go into my coat pocket? Is this a case I can win, on a motion of illagal search and seizure?

No. It was NOT an unlawful search and seizure.
