Absolutely true. Now, speeding along with not giving consent to search can be turned into probable cause by a creative cop and a malleable judge, but plai ol' speeding isn't probable cause.
I wish this was not true but I belive you on this one. I most likely was skating on thin ice the last time I got stopped (for expired registration) when I refused all 3-4 times the cop asked to search my car even when he threatened to have my car towed because I did not have current registration(and even my expired registration was [censored] between what I had in my car and what was in the DMV/cop computers).

You're pretty lucky the cop didn't write you a bunch o' tickets, probably the others you got recently weren't in the computer yet since they haven't been adjudicated. He probably never got a speed on you either other than way too fast, not able to estimate enough to have it stick in court.
I thought that when the cop runs your licence most places they could see details about if it had been run recently ?

Don't forget the impalia's also.
