If the officer decides to arrest or arrest is required, when is a tow required? Can it be left on private property, or another driver take it if it's legal to drive?OldCurlyWolf wrote:Inventory only when an arrest or a tow is involved.

I take this to mean that he searched some of the vehicle's inventory, namely my weapons. This looks to me as if he thought he did not need my consent, since he didn't check that box. Else I am misinterpreting this form.
This officer broke several laws and procedures. He deserves at least a reprimand on his record.

Don't sound like he thought you were dangerous.
