Quick scenario for you. I stopped a vehicle near our local High School and the vehicle stunk of 94C. I know I have PC to pull everyone out of the vehicle and search the vehicle under the auto exception doc but just for clarification and some tad-a-firma, I can search the occupants for contraband as well correct? Not just for weapons?
Does anybody know the case law that deals with the scope of the search? I am looking for specifically the scope of the search of the occupants. In my past dealings I have checked pockets jacket pockets of the occupants for contraband not just weapons.
