What is the thoughts here on probable cause.
What if scenario:
Loaded or unloaded handgun locked inside a vehicle console "SAFE" (steel locked insert, sold for application).
Traffic stop occurs; only minor traffic offense(speeding, etc.), no DUI or other cause.
Can an officer require you to unlock the "SAFE" console to determine what is inside, or will a warrant be required?
If handgun was unloaded (empty chamber, no mag inserted) but separate mag was loaded and contained in console. Any potential crime here? Thoughts?
