If a cop searches your vehicle, where are they supposed to put you while they're looking?

Had my car searched once. There was nothing to find. I was in the back seat of the squad while they did it. They managed to pour out the entire contents of a 200+ piece socket and screw bit set in the trunk. Took a good hour to get them all back in the right order. I was pissed.

Here it tends to be in their car or at the side on pavement and in a safe place.

I have Had This Done when With Someone One Time in The Army. A Trooper Stopped Us and Looked at Our bags in The Back as We sat in The Front. He Could Have Had a Bud with Him, Cannot Recall. xxoo

[Paris13]

Thanks, Gag. xxoo

I had my car searched just once while going through the gate on base.

They let me stay in my car since it was winter and I wasn’t wearing pants 🤷‍♀️

[ChicoFromThe305]

You wait either outside or in the back of the cop car in handcuffs

[DryGermanGuy]

Handcuffs only if you are arrested, when detained you sit there without them.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Not really, depends on their suspicions, maybe in a normal cases

[DryGermanGuy]

Suspicions are not an arrest. Without PC they can’t search the vehicle and to finally arrest you they need to find something.

[ChicoFromThe305]

An arrest is them taking you In, they can detain you in handcuffs, look it up

[ChicoFromThe305]

How you gonna tell me if I've gotten handcuffed while being detained

[DryGermanGuy]

I guess with qualified immunity anything is possible, even getting thrown on the ground with a knee in your back. Those cops must have been quite afraid, though. Or do they know you as a troublemaker with a record?

[DryGermanGuy]

In Germany they often don’t use cuffs even if you are arrested. They just tell you to come with them and cause no trouble.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope my record is clean I thought it was cause they didn't want me to run

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well in the US you are always guilty even when you aren't lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah. Many US-cops are bullies in uniform. Land of the free, my ass.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Land of the do my bidding or else 😂😂

[Jennz6]

I was searched before and I had to sit in the back seat of the cop car

[Emily98]

How long did they take?

[Jennz6]

Not too long about 30 minutes. I didn’t have what ever they were looking for

[Emily98]

That's a long time especially if you're handcuffed lol. Were they dicks about it or were they cool cops?

[Jennz6]

They were ok , they didn’t handcuff me

[Emily98]

I'm glad they were cool, a lot of the ones I've dealt with are not

[Jennz6]

@emily98 I know what you mean

[exitseven]

@jennz6 Did you get a cavity search?

[Jennz6]

@exitseven no lol

[Apple1996]

On the sidewalk or in their car

[Emily98]

Has it happened to you personally?

[Apple1996]

I live on a military base so my car gets randomly searched sometimes. It's no big deal

[Kelley1]

They will tell you or you can ask.

[LaurenM1997]

In the UK you get put into the police car

[LaurenM1997]

And then they search the car but luckily never been in that situation as been a good girl and don’t have a car 🤣
