[QUOTE="satis1103, post: 2719561, member: 3630"] Agreed. Rental cars are dangerous in that way. Hey guys, the "just don't be doing anything illegal and you're fine" argument works on all levels except this one: We have a right to be left alone if we are not being criminal. If we tell our society "shut up and let them search and they'll send you on your way", we essentially consent to being stopped, detained and searched at ANY time for any or no reason. Whether we have nothing to do that day, or whether we have a deadline, or whether we are alone, or maybe have a passenger who looks a little more "grimy" etc. It can mess up our days without being arrested, and it allows less-than-fair policemen to go Police State on anyone they choose for nearly any reason. Convenience - hell, just not wanting to bother with it - is a perfectly acceptable reason to not want to be searched in our free country. Not everyone who is against liberally applied searches would be found doing something wrong. [/QUOTE]
