Thanks for the info cdwjava. In your opinion, did the policeman have the right to search the trunk like that without a warrant? Just curious cause I've never heard that happen to anybody before, and it kinda sucks for it to have gone down that way.
I don't know what the officers saw or heard. But, if you were in the back seat of a vehicle, appeared to have been drinking (smell, behavior, etc.), then a search of the interior within reach of where you were sitting could be entirely appropriate.
