not sure if this is legal or not. i got pulled over tonight for no tag light. the cop said that while he was pulling me over he saw me reaching over in my seat like i was trying to hide something. he asked me to step out, no problem. then he asked me if it was ok for him to search me and my car. i said NO and he told me that i had no choice. so after i was searched he then placed me in his police car and searched my car(him and his partner). they found nothing then wrote a ticket out. now my question: do my actions merit a search under the law? just curious because if this doesnt merit a search then i will fight this fucking ticket tooth and nail and have some kind of actions taking towards these cops. if this is normal then no prob. any insight is appreciated folks.
