I misunderstood you.

And if a cop searches you for ANYTHING legally and finds something other than what he was looking for that is illegal you can get prosecuted for it. If the cop illegally searches you or your car then whatever he finds will not hold up in court.
If the search was legal, yes. If it was in plain view, or if you gave your consent.

I think we agree, we're just saying different things. I was disagreeing with Cory, 'cause he said that an illegal search could result in stuff that would hold up in court.
