Weapon Charges.

When a police officer stops a vehicle during a traffic or speeding violation, it is important for the driver to remain calm and respectful to the officer. Suspicious activity and behavior of the driver or passengers inside the car may give the officer probable cause to search the vehicle. Although the Fourth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, the motor vehicle has been a particular area of concern regarding the constitutionality of the officer's search and the requirements for probable cause.

The Scranton Times-Tribune reports that two men have been charged with felony gun possession and receiving stolen property subsequent to being stopped by Pennsylvania State Police for speeding. Both men were committed to the Monroe County Correctional Facility following their arrest.
