Know Your Rights During Traffic Stops

In North Carolina, a driver is never required to consent to a search during a traffic stop. However, there are instances when a police officer does not need the driver’s consent to search a vehicle, such as when probable cause exists in the presence of some type of illegal contraband. The best thing to do in this case is to not argue with the officer and comply with the request, being pleasant and professional.

If the officer does not have probable cause to search the vehicle, they will ask the driver to give consent. In this case, it is important to understand that you do not have to consent to a search. If there is no reasonable suspicion and you don’t consent to a search, but the officer searches the vehicle anyway, your Constitutional rights may have been violated.

Another important thing to remember is that anything you say and do in front of the police officer will likely be recorded somewhere. Exercising your right to remain silent does not make you difficult or uncooperative, just a citizen who knows their Constitutional rights.
