”Wait, Can Cops Actually Search My Car Over a Doll?”
Let’s cut through the awkwardness – 38 states have vague “indecent object” laws that technically allow vehicle searches if a doll’s visible. But here’s what rookie owners miss: Storage method matters more than ownership. A 2023 Texas case saw charges dropped because the doll was disassembled in labeled “mannequin parts” boxes.The Trunk vs. Backseat Debate: Temperature Risks

Police care more about proper securing than morality – I’ve seen dolls treated as regular cargo when strapped with ANSI-rated tie downs. That $2,000 “discreet transport case”? Useless without ratchet straps crushing the packaging. Save money: Bungee cords + moving blankets work better than 89% of “professional” solutions.
