When your on school grounds,you have no rights.They don't fuck around in school zones man.They can search you if they want to.At least in Ny state.So all you can do is run.

yeah, he could have said no to the cop, but the only thing you people aren't realizing is that when he says NO to the cop, that is enough for the cop to immediately get a search warrant...then he has to let the cop search him...so yes, saying NO basically is probable cause under suspicion...

No, it is not. Please do your research before you shoot your mouth off about legal matters, thanks. For starters, you can read this. For the lazy, I'll quote a relevant portion:

Police officers are not required by law to inform the traveler that they have a constitutional right to refuse a search request, and that a refusal cannot be used to imply probable cause of criminal activity, or that they will be free to leave if they refuse. A deputy sheriff told me they rely on people's ignorance to get the consent. An old DPS trooper tells his family and friends to say the following: "Officer, I don't have anything to hide, but I don't want you pawing through my stuff." He indicated it usually works. Sometimes a refusal will bring threats to get a warrant or drug dog, but if the officer really had probable cause to search, he wouldn't ask, he would tell.

Bolding mine.

Yeah, that's the bad part. As for refusing a search, you can only do so if the officer has no probable cause. If he DOES (and, in this case, trespassing may be sufficient, but IANAL), he can search anyway. If he doesn't, but persists in trying to make a search he is breaking the law, and a good lawyer WILL get any any evidence thus obtained thrown out.

true, true, if i was just minding my own business and some asshole pig came up trying to search some shit i'd definitely say no to him/her
