Hey, one of my friends dad's says that because of the Patriot Act, any cops can pull over his 18wheeler and randomly search it in and out without a warrant. He says this is done going in and out of NYC. My question - I thoughts cops always needed warrant to search something. Keep in mind - he is an owner operator and does not haul any hazardous or of the like material.

Trucks are subject to random search going over bridges and into tunnels. What the guildlines are I have no idea. Since I drive my car on bridges and in tunnel I have no problem with any vehicle or person being searched so I don't get blown up. Why does this bother you?
