The Cost of Freedom

"They entertained whether or not they had enough to search it without that consent, and they did not. There was not enough probable cause to search it on its own, nor to get a warrant for the vehicle," Stevens said. "They thought there might be perhaps even drugs in the vehicle. They asked for a drug dog, but none were available. They looked at a few avenues. Ultimately, it would've been unconstitutional to search the vehicle so they released him." [More]
To those decrying this, be careful what you wish for.

The whole car search issue is nugatory anyway. They took this guy into custody, searched him, brought him to the cop shop, and he acquired a gun THERE and shot somebody with it. Whatever was in his car on a previous day is entirely irrelevant.
