We were watching the movie US Marshal's tonight. In the beginning of the movie Wesley Snipe's character is involved in a car accident. He's in the cab of his overturned wrecker, a firefighter pulls him out. Afterward, the same firefighter goes back into the cab, searches around, and then calls a cop over. The cop comes over and the firefighter pulls out a gun that was velcroed under the dash under the steering column. This is Chicago, so possession of the handgun is a crime, and sets the movie into motion.
My question: In real life, would the firefighter's actions be considered illegal, as in an illegal search.
