This doesn't directly bear upon OC or even guns, but it may well affect any armed passengers/permit holdersin vehicles, so I thought I'd pass this along...
The Supreme Court ruled today that 4th amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures apply equally to occupants of motor behicles as to the drivers. LEOs had apparently claimed that only drivers had expectations of privacy and the right to refuse searches of their persons during stops. I don't have a direct link to this, and I'm just paraphrasing a radio report that I heard, but it's good to know that the Bill of Rights is still fighting for its life.
