This is what happens in our "see something say something" society. Mind your own business society is long gone.

So…. You're saying you got some junk in your trunk!

I don't understand why they're getting their panties in a bunch over a few bumpers.

Also the part where guns had been fired from inside the car (IIRC)?

I'm a bit confused on this. The man went to a shop to have a window replaced but they asked him to open his trunk?

If he had refused then wouldn't it violate the Fourth Amendment?

The BOR is for your protection from the government.

I think it was the back window and they told him they needed access to the trunk. He let them have access. They called the cops to report him. From the contents of the trunk, sort of looked like he was planning on robbing banks or armored cars.

They would have probably simply refused to fix his car.

WOW! This guy doesn't do anything halfway does he? I'm guessing it was his back window that needed replacing, but wouldn't he be bright enough to realize that his rolling armory might be a problem??? I have zero problems with the store calling the police. Wasn't just a pistol in the glove box, I'm guessing he was a supplier to the gangs, not the public. He also did not have to take his car to THIS shop, could've taken it anywhere. The car is in the possession of the shop while it was in the bay and they have the right to protect their employees. 4th Amendment probably would not apply here.

He asked if they needed access to the trunk and they said yes, so he popped the trunk and then attempted to cover his stash, explaining he had illegal shiz in there.

What an absolute moron. Please, lock him under the jail away from other human beings before some other subhuman breeds with him.

Reminds me of the 'things' I would sometimes find in RVs that came into the dealership for service....

Oh, some sort of massage 'devices' were among the things I have found...

Everything put together could ad up to some pretty terrible possibilities. But the guy was a F'ing idiot. With a decent chance he'd blow himself up before any one else.

Those masks are way neat. Always wanted a couple of those just to goof around with. But now, don't need them any more. Natural progression and all that. I'm there naturally.

It seems the saving grace of many criminals is that they do not think things thru very well, if at all?
