on "wing span" searching of vehicle does this mean if they do not find anything in this area, is it then

Well, I'm impressed that you know what a wing-span search is. But, for those who don't, I'll give a bit of explanation before answering your question.\n\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a police officer can conduct what is called a "wing-span" search of a vehicle to protect their own safety. If a part of the vehicle can be reached by someone sitting inside the vehicle, the police are allowed to search it to ensure there are no weapons. This search is a search for strictly for weapons. However, if any evidence of a crime is found while the officer is searching for weapons, the evidence is admissable in court, as a by-product of a legal search.\n\nThe scope of a wing-span search is determined by several factors: 1. Size of vehicle. 2. Number of occupants in vehicle. 3. Size of occupants. 4. Position of occupants in vehicle. 5. Layout of vehicle interior.\n\nIn a small compact car, pretty much the entire inside of the car can be searched, even if there is only the driver in the car. But in a large SUV, that's not the case. If the only people in the SUV are in the front seats, then the police can search the front seats, under them, behind them, and to a point in the back where a person sitting in the front could reach. The back seats might be searchable, but behind them would not be. If there is someone sitting in the back, though, this area can be searched. Similarly, in a normal car, the trunk will not be searchable in a wing-span. But, if the back seat is folded down, or unlatched, allowing access to the trunk from the back seat, it could be a searchable area. Also on that note, an unlocked glove box is searchable, a locked on is generally not.\n\nIf a police officer finds any evidence of illegal activity, or something that gives him/her probable cause to believe a crime has been, or is about to be committed, then the officer can widen the scope of the search to include the entire vehicle. Many things can contribute to probable cause, and it can vary widely based on the circumstances.\n\nIf an officer searches a part of the vehicle that is not covered by the wing-span, and cannot articulate probable cause to have done so, then the part of the search that went beyond the bounds of the wing-span could be declared as illegal, and anything gained in those parts of the search would not be admissable in court. A judge is the only one who can officially determine whether the search was a legal or illegal one. If you feel like the officer did not have probable cause to extend the search, file a complaint with his/her supervisors and contact a respected civil rights attorney in your area.\n\nThe basis for a wing-span search was determined by the U.S. Supreme Court, so it is true in every part of the United States.\n\nP.S. - On a related note, and many police officers are not even aware of this, but the Supreme Court recently widened the scope of a wing-span search under a particular set of circumstances. If a police officer has legal contact with a person, the officer can conduct a pat-down search of the person. That has long been the case. But the Court has said that if the person is standing next to an unlocked vehicle, the police can conduct a wing-span search of that vehicle for officer safety, as it is reachable by the person within a few seconds. Seldom used, but good to know.

It means that it trying to look at something that doesn't exist.  This is usually due to poor programming.  A user should never see this error.

A search warrant! they might say probable cause but is just to get them in the door! the constitution of the united states tells about unlawful search and seazure. Hope I spelled that last word right!

Yes, I was going to first type that you have to be notified that the company has that right but as I read your statement I see that is what the manager did.\n\nBtw, they can also search your vehicle if it is parked on their property. I have no clue why on earth they have this authority but they do.\n\nNow with that said, you do have a discrimination case based on the fact that the males are not being searched.

Unfortuantely, there is now way to find out from the airline due to security issues.  I believe you will need to keep your fingers crossed and hope your paths cross again.

Yes, although if they don't have a warrant they have to give you 24 hours notice, and you can choose to be present at the time of the search, but it is the owner and not the occupant that gets to make that call.

Depends where ur looking.  If you look at the right spot you will see nothing, because there wouldn't be anything obstructing your view.  Or you might see that bird that just crossed your view.

If the search warrant is a reality, meaning if it exists, yes. You (the owner) can ask to see a copy of it and they must produce one or every thing they found is inadmissible in court. But you don't have to see it before they enter your home.

It means it goes nowhere.  It used to, but the page is gone or being worked on.

Depends on area. in Texas, the air belongs to the state. The dog can sniff all around the car without permission. Then if he alerts, the cops have probable cause to search farther.

You seem to have the basics.  \n\nThey might not wait until the wreckage is completely cleared, if it's in a part of the track which isn't used much.

His search was illegal. Police can search you or your vehicle if you are arrested. They may not search your vehicle because you are on "private property". I'm not sure where these other people are getting their misinformation.\n\nIf what some of these people are saying is true, they could search every vehicle that they stop for speeding. \n\nAs a general rule, if they ask your permission, then they don't have probable cause. If they have probable cause, they don't need your permission. \n\nMy advice is to hire an attorney and sue the department for a violation of your fourth amendment rights.
