Long story short.
A public safety officer got my friend peeing in a private parking lot. When the pso spoke to my friend he smelled alcohol on his breath. He asked my friend if he was drinking and my friend said yes. The pso saw a can of sparks inside the car. he asked my friend if the can was his and my friend said yes. The pso cited my friend for peeing in public and for possesion of alcohol. My other friend openned all the doors to the car and the pso looked inside. The pso saw a backpack with bottles inside it. The pso removed the bottles from the backpack. They told us to throw them away and leave. I felt that the pso was looking way too hard to get the rest of us on something.
my question is.
did the pso have the right to look inside the car, given the fact that my friend was outside the car peeing not drinking.
can the pso remove the bottles out of the backpack and not cite anyone?
what is "in plain sight" is it just a quick glance looking in the windows or doors ?
or is it a full search of the car ?
