Please note that Vox is a well-known spammer and crosspost abuser. I
have trimmed the followup lines accordingly. Apologies to all the other
fine English-speaking legal newsgroups he has fouled.

As there is no political content, I have also trimmed us.politics.

So FindLaw is crap and we should believe your rantings instead. You really area a dumb asshole.


Vox is a well-known troll and idiot. However, the part of FindLaw that
you quoted hasn't been updated in a little while, from what I can see.
For example, after Atwater v. Lago Vista, /any misdemeanor/ (including
simply criminal speeding) may be used as a basis for arrest and
impoundment (with subsequent inventory search) of your vehicle.

State law may provide you with more protection, and where the offense
is merely civil (some states set up a civil classification for some
traffic tickets) it isn't so clear, but when I got pulled over by the
Arizona Highway Patrol for going 86 in a 75 mph speed zone (oops), they
could have arrested me in handcuffs, taken me to jail, and impounded my
car. Whenever a police officer is authorized to make an impoundment,
the general rule goes, they may also make an inventory search of the
car.

You can read Atwater v. Lago Vista at the Supreme Court website.

It concerned a seat belt violation.

Translation: Vox was correct as usual.
For example, after Atwater v. Lago Vista, /any misdemeanor/ (including simply criminal speeding) may be used as a basis for arrest and impoundment (with subsequent inventory search) of your vehicle.

bungling, malpractice and bad ethics can be observed
in court houses all over this country every day ...
these incompetents have a seeming unawareness of
the fundamental ethics of the profession.
