P.C.V. = "Probable Cause Vehicle" This is a vehicle that is just begging to be pulled over by the police either because of the car, itself, the passengers, or the behavior of the car and/or passengers. Often has a lot to do with the location of the car at the time. This, itself, will give the cops all they need to legally wrangle even an undeserved pull-over and search into a lawful bust of the occupants. Any number of things can cause a car to be a P.C.V. - most have to do with the environment in which the particular car is found. A P.C.V. might not be a P.C.V. in one place, but becomes one in another. In other words, wrong vehicle in the wrong place. It is possible for a P.C.V. to be a P.C.V. everywhere, though. If you find yourself in a PCV, don't bitch at the police for pulling you over. They're doing their job and you were probably being a moron. Automobile profiling is an effective law enforcement tool.
