That happened to me after being stopped by the police in Tokyo. They wanted to search my bag, I refused. Since I wasn't a suspect of anything and they had no warrant, they couldn't actually take my bag and search it without my consent. I asked if I was arrested, they said no, I asked if I could then leave, they said no. Eventually they asked for "backup", even though I wasn't offering any physical resistance (I wasn't getting arrested after all), and then there were 5 officers grilling me as to why I was refusing an illegal search. I resisted for over 1 hour, then finally I relented and "consented" to the search.
