I have never have the opportunity to refuse a search

This was my first opportunity since it became standard practice on traffic stops. I wouldn't have been much better off if I gave him the okay to "have a look" because that gives consent to a full search. I have seen too many of the COPS stories where the "have a look" ends up with the car taken apart on the shoulder of the road.

If I would have had 3 trash bags of dog food they probably would have pulled out the drug test kits.

I got pulled over by a canine unit patrolman in Oklahoma for going...get this...67 in a 65 zone. Of course, having IA plates, I guess I somehow garnered his interest.

I wish I would have had a camera to capture the look of disappointment on his face when he got to the window and saw a blonde woman in a business suit with an SUV full of salesman's sample boards.

I could barely stop laughing between that, and the fact that his poor dog was wearing one of those "lampshade" things around its head because of an injured foot!

I got a warning ticket and, OF COURSE, have never traveled 2 MPH over the speed limit since.
