That & it's hearsay.

I can comment on the search itself though because I have been trained (& have trained others) to "search for weapons in vehicles": utterly unprofessional. It was like watching people play at police.
And by what stretch of the imagination was this detention and warrantless search for weapons -- to the point of trashing his car & belongings -- even remotely legal?
