Just say no

Well the title is misleading but this past monday I was pulled over for driving without headlights on. The officer started to as questions like "have you been smoking today" and the regular bull crap. Then come the inevitable "Sir do you mind if we look around your car". By this time it took all my will power for me not to pass out.
So I was running things through in my head "Okay, well I have a bag in my pocket. A bowl in the center consol. A) So either I let him find it B) Tell him no, and hope to god that he and his parter are lazy cops.
So I said "Sir actually I have somewhere to be at 6:30,(6:10 ish at that time) that I don't want to be late for". He looked at me kinda confused then asked "Are you refusing my search" I said yes.
After that he went and asked to passenger for his id, and said we can get out of here once he runs the passenger for warrents.
Point of this long drawn out post: Always refuse the search, most likley they arn't going to go any more hard on you than if you would have consented. Phew that was a close one.

Similar situations have happened to me; When I was still underage a few years ago, I had a bowl on me, a Quarter OZ of some fine, fine herbs, and a entire STYROFOAM COOLER full of beer.
And I was drunk.
The cop asked me several times to look around my car, each time I said no.
After getting really frustrated and pissed off, he just let me leave.
Without probably cause or anything in PLAIN SIGHT in your car, they can't do shit.

This is why watching COPS pisses me off. Everyone says yes to a search and then the cops finds guns, drugs, everything in the car. Then they come up with some sort of excuse like, "umm sir, its my friend's! I swear its not mine!"
I remember one where this couple gets pulled over for a tail light out. The cops question them and asks what they are doing in that neighborhood. He pulls the chick out of the car and asks if they were here to buy drugs and to be honest. She says yes and BAM, cops search the car find a bunch of shit and they get locked up. They were pulled over for a tail light... Seriously fucking stupid people.

Good points. Never allow a search. Even if you have absolutely nothing in your car just say no to piss the officer off

I agree. Never consent to a search. ESPECIALLY if you don't have anything in your car. Make sure you have something really funny (or disturbing), but legal in your car as well. Like one of those snakes that people put in peanut brittle that pop out at you whenever you open it. Put this things all over your car, as well as mouse traps, and other legal, but annoying things.

Just as important: don't drive without your headlights on, wear a seatbelt, don't let your tags expire, keep your tail lights in working order, don't speed, don't roll stop signs and don't drive while intoxicated.

Good! Its good to see the search refusal tactic working in action...
I think you handled it right. That pamphlet advises you to say shit like "I refuse to consent to a search because I believe in my constitutional rights." I would never say that to a cop's face, I just want outta there. The "Excuse me sir, but I have an appointment..." excuse is the way to go, as your experience shows.
Good work my friend. Stoners 1, cops 0

Police have asked me if they may search me at least half a dozen times. Each time I politely refused (no, thanks) and they always look a little surprised, but never failed to let me go without hastle.
Apparently they assume that if you are with it enough to know your rights, you aren't really who they are looking for. They always know that the next dumbass they ask will consent.

Good job Stonerguy. I've only been asked to be searched by a cop once in January of 2002 and I declined to let him do that because I had just read The Shroomery a couple of days prior and had been educated a little bit about my rights. I'm still not an expert like the people who do "Cop Watch", but I knew enough to say no. While he was running my tags or whatever, I came up with a story. So he comes back to my car and gives me my ticket. Then.....
Cop: Do you have any drugs, weapons, etc. in your car? Me: No sir. Cop: Do you mind if I take a look around. Me: No, I need to be going now. Cop: It'll just take a minute. Me: No sorry, I need to be going. Cop: Where are you going? Me: I'm meeting my parents for dinner in Fredricksburg. Cop: ......... Me: So where is the court house that I need to report to located? Is it just off of the next exit, or? Cop: (gives me directions)
I had weed in the trunk.

Oh trust me, I wasn't James Dean about it. I'm sure I looked pretty nervous too, because I was.
