It would be your word against his as far as ‘how he worded it’ and who do you think the judge will side with on that one… if he asked to search your car and you said no, then yes you have a case… if you allowed him to search, no matter how he worded it… then you don’t have a case. I’m not sure about the rules if your on probation or parole, but I know for fact if your on nether then you can simply say ‘I do not consent to illegal searchs’ and he would then have to obtain a warrant for a search (which isn’t likely).

edit* dont’ let cops scare you into doing what they want, they work for us, not the other way around.

if you told him not to search your veichal and he did, then yes, but if he asked you if he can search it and you said ok, then i don’t think so.

In my state you can get a permit to smoke marijuana. However, it is still considered a DUI to be under the influence of any drug like alcohol or marijuana (even medicine a doctor prescribed) while driving a car or possessing a weapon.

The officer has a burden of proof in court to prove that you were impaired "to the slightest degree".

There currently isn’t a breath screening device (your reference to 0.00) that detects marijuana. We used to use urine tests but we now use blood tests to prove the presence of marijuana for court. Best case scenario is to have a drug recognition expert (DRE) determine if you are impaired. the DRE will have you blow in a PBT and won’t do the drug impairment if you are also alcohol impaired.
