He called a lawyer and was told that with "suspicion", such as smelling weed, they can place you under temporary arrest and do the search. That's how it flys in Wisconsin.........may want to check the laws of your state.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
I was talking to an old friend who has been on the police force for a couple years now and he say's the same thing as you.

If you refuse a search the cop just has to detain you in which case you no longer need to consent and they are free to search your car.

Trust me, there are loop holes for nearly everything. Yes cops no loop holes to get around our rights. The same exact case may get thrown out of one court where as in another you get 6 months in prison.

What I'm saying is do what your gut tells you when you get pulled over. Most of the time you can tell how big a dick is when he pulls you over. I have gotten out of two DUI's because the cops didn't feel like doing paper work and I was nice and polite.

Don't get cocky because of the U.S. Constitution because there are way's to get around it.

But I will give it to you, in most cases your best bet is to follow what the video sugests and if the worst still happes get mommy and daddy to hire a decent lawyer.
