Well...if he wasn't breaking any laws, then he legally can't pull him over.
Yeah, but a cop wouldn't have any reason to search a car for a broken tail light anyway.
So I'm wondering why the cop wanted to search in the first place. But regardless, I don't understand why this guy thinks he should get off on this after giving the cop permission to search his car...

I just think this creates a scary precedent where police no longer have to worry about being right or wrong about the law, so long as a court thinks their understanding is reasonable.

Just about every police academy teaches you to ask for consent to search, and I'd it's on an interstate or an area with drug trafficking you can bet that in 90% of the stops the cops asks to search.

I see the point you're making, but for me it reverts to the guy not being in that situation to allow the search to begin with.

taillight was a pretext
guy was dumb for consenting to search, but what happens when you don't consent? Po-Po gets mad.
