http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/masturbation/starbucks-masturbator-647093A woman who was spotted masturbating in a Starbucks was arrested yesterday after Florida cops searched her purse and found a pipe with cocaine residue.
Police were summoned to the Bradenton business "by the staff at Starbucks regarding a female that was in their lobby and was masturbating." When an officer questioned the woman, Jennifer Piranian, she reported that she was waiting to go to a local hospital.
A cop offered her a ride to the hospital, but asked to first check her purse, to which Piranian agreed. The officer subsequently discovered "a glass stem" in the 29-year-old Piranian's purse that "tested positive for cocaine residue," according to a probable cause affidavit.
Piranian, who denied ownership of the pipe, was arrested for possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. Pictured above, Piranian is being held in the Manatee County jail in lieu of $1120 bond.

(1,270 posts)Officers don't need a search warrant to search a car or a purse. They do for a house, but not anything inherently movable.

Now, you always comply with a police order. But you always withold consent. Do you know how to walk the fine line? You ask if you are detained. And if you aren't--you keep walking. If you are, then you ask for what.
FYI--if you are a law student, you do know that the automobile exception varies per state, right?

(507 posts)which I'd guess someone would have to be on drugs to do with a cocaine in their purse. If you agree, you've agreed.
I don't feel sorry for someone who agreed to a search and gets caught.
