Err.. i Don't think so. They don't have to have a warrant to search your car. They are allowed by law to conduct random searches, what if i am a Murderer getting away? by the time they obtain a warrant i will be gone. undecided
Leave them. If you know the number of stolen vehicles recovered daily in Benin, if not for stop and search, those ones for don go

There have no right to search except they have a warrant. you as a Nigerian must search them first before they search you. IT,s IN THE Constitution.
Lol, they only need a warrant to search your apartment, not you or your car

Educative lol. But police have the right to search or arrest without a warrant. If in doubt quote me when I'm with my book in the evening I'll quote the session for you I can't remember now it's been long I left police. Download this lovely and beautiful newly released love song from Xpol

In that case, there is a probable cause.
That's why the are allowed by law to search Any suspected vehicles, Any time, Anywere and Anyhow, without warrant. as long as they do it within the law. No intimidations. Or extrajudicially.
Re: Does The Police Have The Right To Stop And Search My Car? by frozen70(f): 5:29pm On Mar 25, 2019
Because of unknown fear of harassment and intimidation,

We allow them to search your cars

If you resist, you will be tamed a thief and a stray bullet might be released

If you cooperate, they will find a fault in your papers and you will have to grease their palms to sort yourself out

Probable cause? Na jang we dey abi naija? My advice; legal or not, so long as you have no incriminating items in the vehicle, just let them search and go on your way. These people don't even know those laws and they will harm you and ask questions later. For naija, it's mostly smart to pay the piper.
Re: Does The Police Have The Right To Stop And Search My Car? by ibinaboonline: 8:58pm On Mar 25, 2019
Wrong! Your car and your apartment falls under'property'. Your property. By law, if they don't have the right to search your property without warrant that would include your car. As much as we despise the feeling of harassment it should be in the back of our minds that they're just doing their jobs. I'm not sure they enjoy it as much as we think they do. During the course of these annoying searches they just might get the bad guys and make the city even safer.

My dear, i Dont know how to start explaining to you but you are wrong. The police have right to search you or your car without warrant
Re: Does The Police Have The Right To Stop And Search My Car? by ibinaboonline: 9:49pm On Mar 25, 2019
I never said they do or do not have the right to search anybody or their car. What I said is that if they can a search your apartment without warrant then can also search your car without warrant because car and house fall under 'property'. You can't say'they can search your apartment but not your car'.
