My point is, an expired CHL isn't PC for a search. Granted, producing expired documentation to an officer is a bad idea, but the last thing I'd want is an officer to come back to my window, hand on holster, saying, "I KNOW YOU HAVE A CHL WHERE'S THE WEAPON!" or something...

Either the officer had probable cause from something else, or the search was illegal. A District Attorney cannot "authorize a search" unless there's some form of probable cause, or a warrant.

OR, as I said, was my civics class now outdated? :oops:

How does a DA Authorize a search? I thought a judge had to issue a warrant, or was the High School Civics class I took in 1992 now out of date?
