I never ever ever give them the right to search my vehicle. If they want
to invade my personal space they are going to have to work for it. And
get their superior officer out there. And look like idiots for wasting
everyones time. The first thing I say when they want to search my
vehicle is for them to get their superior out there. I certainly don't
need any surprises showing up in my car.

When I picked up a W108 (280S) in Norfolk, I had to drive cross country to get
to I95.
While passing through a small town, I was pulled over by a cadre of local law
enforcement folks.
Seems that my Florida license plate piqued their interest, as apparently this
was a route frequented by drug traffickers bringing their wares into the area.
I questioned their logic, as I was heading in the wrong direction and was
driving a very conspicuous vehicle.
They were also put out by my refusal to allow them to search my vehicle, as I
contended that they had no probable cause to do so. They threatened to impound
it, which I told them were welcome to do so, while I was busy calling my
attorney.
Long story short, these guys were small town Barney Fifes with little to do
other than harass out of towners.
They left me alone in the McDonald's parking lot. I went in and got a cold
beverage. Something seemed odd about the place, which I did not figure out
until a few miles down the road....people were smoking inside the place!
Makes sense-this was in central Virginia....

It seems like not much has changed as I can remember speed traps in the
Rappahannock, VA area in the '60s prior to the completion of I95 which were
after military folks traveling north/south on weekends and, since I moved to
western NC and have made numerous trips to/from Pbgh., I've found there are
speed traps on I81 near Abingdon, VA. Whenever I've traveled this route, I
tend to see multiple VA state police vehicles . . . so be careful out there.
