I hate to say this (don’s asbestos underwear) but I agree with the court on this.

They should be able to ASK (politely).

May we search your house, pretty please with cream and sugar on it?

You should be able to ask for anything (this is a free country) for example:

Q. can I have all of your money please?
A. No, get away from me!

See asking is not the problem, demanding, not asking but just doing, those I have a problem with.

(Any resemblance to humor in this post was entirely intentional)

When police ask you to do something while you are being detained most people don't consider that just a request. They consider it an order.

After all you are being detained against your will by someone in a uniform wearing a gun. (Color Of Law)

Agreed. This is really nothing new. They've always been able to ask. And we can always say no, and they'll just find a way around it anyway (My dog smells something.) just like they always have.

The headline is extremely misleading.

"... (don’s asbestos underwear) ..."

Why are you wearing Don's underwear? Is that a brand name like Calvin Klein? Is it more comfortable?
