    Default Re: Unlawful Roadside "Cavity Searches"

    Okay. Four years ago an out of court settlement was reached on the incident that involved a detention of a suspect with priors for drug possession, a probable history of transporting drugs in an banal cavity, and a search warrant. The search may or may not have been without lawful grounds. Since no court apparently ruled on the matter, it is hard to say that anything untoward occurred - especially since no response from the county was provided in the story.

    I'm not sure what your question here is. If it was whether or not you CAN be "convicted" for refusing a search based upon a search warrant, the answer is "Yes." You CAN be. Whether you would be, or not, depends on all the facts.

    But, rest assured, the odds of this happening to you are probably slightly worse than hitting the winning lottery numbers.

    EDIT: Hey! Where did the original reply go?? At 2 AM Steve418 had replied: "It was the one from CNN."
