Trooper gave some excellent real world advice but...

If I'm on the jury, the contents of the backpack is NOT admissable because getting inside the pack is no more accessible than getting into the trunk of the car and pulling everything in there out and putting it on the ground including dumping the toolbox out.

Accessible stuff on the outside- yes. Stuff on the inside nope. This juror calls BS on it.

Heck, I've been unable to find a couple of items that I was sure were in my pack. Could only find them after the pack was completely unloaded at home or in camp.

But I don't get to make the law and usually am dismissed from the jury pool for suggesting I get to judge the law. (Fully Informed Jury)

Being friendly and open will preclude having one of these experiences.
