It had to be loaded.... or ammo was also in the car and not in a locked container of some kind. That wouldn't change what you said, however... still have to prove he knowingly possessed it.

I'm curious as to why they searched his car. Suspicion of DUI? Some type of major traffic violation? It certainly wasn't speeding, or running a red light.

Exactly. Unless they had a warrant (which they didn't) they should only be able to search incidental to an arrest (and this arrest took place after the search). Interesting.

Edit: I should point out that a drug dog can give PC to search a vehicle...but I don't think that's what happened.
