This is shaping into a perfect example regarding the application of rights vs. law.
Miranda
Pirtle
Terry
etc...
Does a passenger have to ID? Was that a lawful order or a request? Can the cabin be searched and does that extend to the trunk? What if I am carrying? What if I am ordered to exit my car and chose to lock the doors behind me? Is a bumper sticker probable cause?
Why do citizens have to put so much effort into protecting their rights against those who are tasked to protect them? In most cases I don't think their violations are necessarily malicious, rather, they are economic. Law enforcement and incarceration are big business. Politicians, prosecutors, etc need to project a tough on crime mentality to get reelected and justify ever increasing budgets and federal handouts.
