The Officer

Scot is still on probation as a police department rookie. While on probation he can be dismissed at any time for any reason and would not be entitled to a trial board or hearing prior to dismissal.

During his patrol duties, Scot has caused to stop a car for a legitimate but minor traffic violation. The motorist was highly agitated at being stopped "for no reason" and, using a variety of obscene references and racial slurs, adamantly expressed how upset he was. Agitated, Scot told the man to exit the vehicle and place his hands on the hood of his car. Scot looked through the car interior and then took the keys out of the ignition to open the trunk. Seeing what Scot was doing the driver told Scot to stop and that he could not search the trunk of the car. Ignoring this, Scot opened the trunk and discovered in plain view a large, clear plastic bag containing thousands of pharmaceutical-type capsules. Scot could hear the driver screaming, "That ain't mine. That ain't mine." Scot suddenly realized he has committed an illegal search. What should Scot do?
