While, in many circumstances, officers are required to get a search warrant or make an arrest before they can search a vehicle, this requirement is waived if the driver consents to the search.
Consenting to a search can be a risky move. A woman in Madison County, Illinois learned this lesson the hard way this winter, after she was caught with approximately $1.6 million in cash in her vehicle.
According police reports, an Illinois ...
