'That'll be just f******* fine!' The cop who goes ballistic when driver says he can't search his car without a warrant



Apparently, this officer doesn't appreciate the fourth amendment.



A dashboard camera and microphone in the cop's patrol car captured a sudden profane tirade during a traffic stop after the driver tells the officer he can't search his car without a warrant.



The officer seems friendly enough when he first pulls over the white SUV. He begins by saying he isn't going to give the man behind the wheel a ticket.



But his mood changes dramatically when the driver tells the cop he can't rummage through the truck.



A video of the encounter posted on YouTube has become a viral Internet sensation, with more than 200,000 views since it was posted last week.



However, the clip offers few details. The name of the officer is unknown, as is the location and time of the traffic stop.

Meltdown: This officer didn't like the driver's response that the cop couldn't search his vehicle without a warrant

'That'll be just f****** fine, buddy!' the officer shouts, in a sudden profanity-laced tirade.



'You know what? You take this s*** and you go back to f******* Charleston and you don't f****** come back here OK?'

When the officer asks the driver if he can search his vehicle, it's a casual friendly question.



'Before you take off would you mind if I took a look through your car for any narcotics or anything like that?' he says.

Caught on camera: The entire tirade was captured on the microphone and dashboard camera in the officer's patrol car

'Not without a warrant, man.' the driver responds.



The officer seems taken aback by the reply. He repeats the words 'not without a warrant' several times, drawing in short breaths as if he is trying to control his temper.

Then the cop goes ballistic and embarks on a profanity-laced barrage of screaming at the driver. He flips his middle finger as he gets back into his squad car and tears away from the traffic stop.



Officers often ask to search cars during routine traffic stops if they suspect the driver is carrying illegal weapons or drugs.



Legally, the police cannot search a car without the driver's consent unless they have a search warrant. This is thanks to the fourth amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees protection against 'unreasonable search and seizure.'



However, if officers have a reasonable belief that the vehicle contains the evidence of a crime, for example if a car with a similar description was seen fleeing a bank robbery, then they can conduct a warrant-less search.
