A Baton Rouge police officer is under investigation after getting caught on body camera video saying she could search a vehicle without probable cause and say anything she found was in plain sight. When Robin Ducote said she wanted to search a truck, another officer asked if she had probable cause. "Yeah, they are both f****** passed out," Ducote responded. "So, if we find something, we say it's in plain view. Who gives a s***, we're writing this report."
