Once the police are entitled to search for the police law in force there, the person is also entitled to carry items, including the car, to search. Federal roads or motorways usually do not make any difference here.
An evaluation is not possible here without any precise knowledge of the circumstances.
The customs is authorized in the customs border district at any time to search a car.
The fact that the customs has extraordinary power is aware that I am not sure whether the police on federal roads is really entitled to put my car on the head without suspicion and reason?
I don't know what suspicion or reason the pole had. In some police laws, there is the right to call for a protocol of this kind after a search, then you know the reason.
However, the search for the car is not legally defined in the paragraph. Consequently, the police are not allowed to search your car completely without any concrete reason. There is an exception if there is a judicial decision: if there is a suspicion regarding a criminal offense or a concrete indication of a criminal offense, such as the smell of marijuana in the car, a search order can be issued.So if the police search your car, you are quite right to ask for the search decision. In this case, the police are obliged to provide information.
Yeah, that's possible, and the whole thing is called a mess..
