I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with the police, but have been lucky to keep my nose clean for the last decade or so. However, the legal landscape has changed quite a bit in those 10 years. According to multiple law enforcement agencies, a single item in your glovebox could be enough to raise suspicion in a big way. It’s not drugs or weapons either. A common, legal item can be considered a red flag during a traffic stop. If officers spot this item during a routine stop, it could justify a full vehicle search. And the kicker? Most people carry it without a second thought.
So, if you’re opening up your glovebox to grab your registration card, you might want to make sure nothing like this is hanging out in there.
