Yes, when he refused permission, the officer called for what was a LOT of backup and a drug sniffing dog and searched the car, searched son, found some mints, smelled them, asked what they were.
The whole deal.

Very weird indeed.
Sometime the law is just strange.
My brother was arrested for speeding, he was riding his ten speed.
The charges were dropped but what an ordeal.

So the cop appears to have used lack of consent to an unwarranted search as probable cause to search. That's illegal. Go to court and challenge it on those grounds. If there was probable cause to begin with, what was it, and why did he ask for permission?

Get a lawyer and file, also file formal complaint with the department against the officers involved.
