Speeding is NOT probable cause to search a vehicle.
Yup.

40 over has to be reckless driving! Which I guaruntee is a serious enough offense to search the car. With that kind of speed he could have arrested you and imbounded your car. Had you passed another car while doing that speed you could have also been hit with wreckless endangerment.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
