Moral of the story, don't give consent to search.
I actually commended an 18 year old kid for not allowing me to search, after we were called by an "anonymous person," who stated that she was dealing drugs.
She wasn't (as far as I know); she had met her grandmother in the parking lot in front of a gas station to borrow some money. When she and her grandmother exchanged the money, someone thought they had witnessed a drug deal and called us.
I wouldn't have been doing my job if I hadn't asked and she would not have been exercising her constitutional rights if she had consented. I was impressed.
I complimented her to her grandparents, after they showed up 5 minutes after our arrival, for not consenting to a search. They were very nice and thanked me for doing my job.
Everyone walked away happy.
Wait, you mean you didn't shoot anyone?
How could that be? I thought all you cops were racist scumbags just waiting to pop a cap in anyone.
