Have you ever said no to a cop on the side of the road?
Usually you end up in cuffs.
You can macho this as much as you like about what you would do but I
bet you haven't actually done any of it.

I've said no to cops on the side of the road before... Question: Have you
been drinking? Answer: No. Question: Are you single? Answer: Ummm... lol

The first one is the right answer to a question, the second one can go
either way. We have had cops harassing women here too. It is less
likely they get away with it these days but my nieces have some
stories where it didn't really work out.

The real question is whether you can say no when a cop "asks" you
something like "can I look in your trunk" or "can I see your ID".
A "no" is usually seen as reasonable suspicion that you are doing
something illegal. If you weren't you just have a long day and they
eventually send you on your way. If you are doing ANYTHING wrong, you
get hooked up and taken in.

You can say no, with the caveat that if he looks anyway, he better have
actual probably cause. The "can I see your ID" goes back to asking for the
DL. Driving is a privilege not a right, so he's within bounds to ask for it.
If you're walking down the street, there is a higher standard of probably
cause for asking for ID. That's the problem with the AZ law (well, one of
the problems).

i lived there. never saw a problem with the illegals.

You didn't see a problem with your finances either. Maybe your shades are a
couple shades too dark?

no. it just means the right invents problems where there are none,
and hides those that exist.

being right wing is a learning disability

You ignore the basic problem. It will always be your word against the
cop's that you said no. You will lose that one.
If your word was equal to the cop, there wouldn't be any traffic
tickets. They are all your word against his.

Well sure, but in our system you're innocent until proven guilty. Judges
_tend_ to believe the police over regular citizens, but he would still have
to produce something that caused him to get in your face.. Not that it's
much of an example, but I've seen people win in traffic court against the
testimony of an expert (police) witness.
