I was arrested for driving on suspended license, they said they would let someone come get my vehicle. As they were walking me to the police car the other officer was inside my vehicle. Once I was in their car the officer said I was nervous and asked if I had anything in the vehicle. I said no and remained quiet. The person coming to get my car showed up and the officer started yelling at them saying he's towing it so he can search it. Is that legal?
