Unless you know the right magic spells to invoke in order to keep the demons away. I know one that goes, "I'm not consenting to any searches. Am I free to go? Am I under arrest?" If you keep chanting it in the right tone, there's a good chance you'll escape.
- TheCraiggers 12y ago"...there's a good chance you'll escape." I'd love to see a citation on that, because I can easily see that going the other way: cop considers you a smart-ass and decides to teach you a lesson. Maybe you appear nervous or he/she claims that your eyes are glazed, and now has probable cause to detain you further and get a warrant to have your car torn apart looking for drugs or other contraband. Yes, you'll eventually win in court if you're truly innocent and you keep saying you don't consent to searches, ask if you're free to go, and ask for a lawyer. Of course, that doesn't mean the officer can't make your life hell during and after the stop if they so desire. The point is, they have the power, not you. You can't even leave until they say you can. The best you can hope for is that the cop maybe gets a reprimand after you complain, and good luck getting any compensation beyond that.
