I have a pick up truck and i purchased a safe that fit's under my back seat and drilled eye bolt's thru the sides and have it secured with a locking cable around the seat mounting bracket.
Every time i go to Florida i alway's keep my personal item's and also my find's locked inside the safe, I never worry about any one stealing from me.
About 3 month's ago a sheriff was wondering what i was doing at a secluded beach at night, I was just securing my detector in my tool box in the back of my truck, and the deputy could not understand that sometime's people detect at night .
He checked out my truck and inside the cab he noticed my safe and inquired why i had one, I explained to him i lock my personal item's inside, Well he insisted that i need to open my safe so he can see inside and i heitated and he was requesting i unlock my safe,
So i did and he looked at everything inside and looked at my prescription medication bottles and my paperwork,
Anyone know if this was legal for him to demand me to open my safe. And i still fill safe knowing that everytime i travel what ever is locked inside my safe will stay there,
