Here's a video of an officer in Missouri threatening to invent charges and throw a young man in jail, when he didn't break any laws.

Edit to add: Not safe for work or 10 year old daughters, due to language! (The bad language is the officer's, by the way. Real professional. :roll: )

The officer always has authority under Terry to perform a pat search of a driver and his immediate environment, with the goal of detecting weapons, for officer safety.

Most won't do such a search while the drive is seated, but will ask the driver to exit the car. While complying, be sure to lock the door on your way out. Anything inside the car is now off-limits for a search, since it is not within your immediate environment.

"Force of habit, Officer. I always keep my doors locked to prevent crime."
