Unless the officer discovered probable cause during the traffic stop (or had probable cause prior to), then no, the search was illegal.
The officer would have needed to obtain probable cause to search the vehicle, in reference to Carroll v. United States.
The prior answer referenced "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" and that was incorrect. During a traffic stop for speeding, generally, no one is being arrested, and "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" only allows the the officer to search for evidence related to the arrest, which for speeding, there wouldn't be any such evidence.
Yes, once he was in his car and was doing 80 in a 40 zone and was pulled over
With probable cause, yes he can.
if you are pulled over you will have to sit in the car and sign bits of paper,pay a fine,be told off and get breathalyzed you could be arrested
The word irate basically means to become angry or very annoyed. An example would be "The car driver became irate when he was pulled over for speeding".
I believe it refers to the officer's squad car. Stating that the car he/she pulled you over in was a marked car. Making it obvious that it was a police officer. Unlike an unmarked police car that would probably be driven by an undercover or plain clothes officer.

Yes. All you having already pulled over and gotten out of the car does is make the cop's job slightly more convenient.
Red, there's something about it that just gets pulled over :-)
Yes, you can. Since he lied about his age. Not to mention that he used your car, also the car your daughter uses, without permission. Yeah- you SHOULD file for theft.

Red
does the police officer have the right, when I have a outstanding warrant to search my car?
