vehicular searches under certain circumstances.

I've spent the last little bit reading the arguments in that case.
Below is the Court's opinion.

"For the reasons stated, we conclude that the Government's authority
to conduct suspicionless inspections at the border includes the
authority to remove, disassemble, and reassemble a vehicle's fuel
tank. While it may be true that some searches of property are so
destructive as to require a different result, this was not one of
them. The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded for further
proceedings consistent with this opinion."

This case is very limited. It does not address inland searches. First,
it only applies at border inspections and specifically addresses
disassembly of a container. In this case, a gas tank.

That's why I asked for a link. I didn't a quick search on Google, but didn't
readily pull up the specific case. I did see it mentioned in a border case
though, an figured it was about a border case as well. Searching vehicles
entering the country is a different story. I was trying to relate to the OP
statement, and I though it was an routine inland stop.

Nope.

He was right and the cop was wrong.

No, the cop was right and he was wrong. If we put ourselves in
questionable
places and questionable hours, we should support the efforts of any cop

gets out of the doughnut shop long enough to ask why.

What is questionable about a bowling alley parking lot at 1am?

One in the morning is good enough for me, but any one in a parking lot, that
doesn't seem to be walking between their parked car and the building is
pretty good too. Remember, these guys are paid to be suspicious, and help
protect our property.

In the example above, the guy was admittedly walking through his own
neighborhood. I want the cops in my neighborhood asking questions.- Hide quoted text -

So... you won't mind finding yourself spread-eagled on the ground with
a 9mm against the base of your skull just because the cops think you
look suscpicious? Have fun!

Totally irrelevant, and childishly irrational.

Sorry, but no.

I have the right to go about my business without being "shaken down" by
anyone.

And what point is that? You prefer the thugs run free without question? I'm
glad our country doesn't meet with your approval.

Sure, and as soon as you identify yourself and your authority to be there,
you have no problem. But if you were able to tie the hands of law
enforcement, anyone could be there, for any reason.

Nope. That one's been tried...
