So...Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett apparently got pulled over. He took to Twitter on Monday afternoon and via a series of tweets indicated that police had pulled him over and requested to search his car.
He has (politely) declined their request.
I don't think I can add anything to this so here is Dockett's blow-by-blow account of what happened via his Twitter account:
I don't know why the police always messing w/me I'm never gonna let them search my car with out a search warrant! No matter what!
Police sitting here waiting on back up cuz I told them YOU NOT SEARCHING MY CAR! PERIOD! & now I'm sitting here! Owell I aint got shit 2 do!
There R 3police cars and they are talking! I don't see A search warrant they won't see inside this escalade! I got all day hope they don't!
Police said "do you mind if we look around in your Vehicle?" I said I sure DO! He said "I'm gonna call back up" I said u wanna use my phone?
I think they (POLICE) going to get a search warrant cuz they sitting here looking like fools waiting on something!
These COPS really think I'm stupid they playing good cop bad cop! BOY STOOOOP! I'm not falling for that! NO SIR YOU WILL NOT LOOK IN MY CAR!
This cop just ask me how tall R u & where R U from! I'm bout to ask him can I go across the street to POPEYS while we sitting here waiting!
I been sitting here for a HOUR 1cop by the driver window, 2talking at the car! And the 1by the window being friendly! Like wtf?
I asked the cop why he pulled me over he said I was speeding I said BULLSHIT! But give me the ticket that's when he asked to search my car!
So you gonna lie and say I'm speeding then you wanna search my car! Get the F*ck ouutta here! Better go get a warrant *turns up radio*
OK so now I think they letting me Go cop just brought my DL's and registration! Yeah I'm bout to be out this MOFO!

Awesome!
The police think they can intimidate people into letting them do whatever the hell they want. If they ask if they can search your car, the trunk is not included in the search. It is separate, so keep your drugs and bombs and rifles in the trunk. If the cops search it and don’t get permission to search the trunk specifically, then you might be able to get it thrown out in court.
Or you could just tell them to fuckoff like Dockett did, because he wasn’t doing anything illegal apparently.

Right on!
Dockett is a badass. If more americans knew their rights and grew a back bone things would be much better.
