#5, although I've never tracked that into the car, I have had a cigarette stick to my shoe and end up on the floorboard.

I see vehicle searches all of the time here. Mostly on the interstate. I always wonder why the driver doesn't refuse. Could be they would be detained until the k9 unit arrives. If that were the case who knows how long they will be waiting.

I always wonder why the driver doesn't refuse.

As stated in the article, I think most people don't know it's within their rights to refuse. That and cops also intimidate you into consenting to a search.

#5: I've found booze in my car. Best guess is it spilled out of the purse of one of my relatives when picking them up for a thanksgiving dinner, and it rolled under the seat.

The Supreme Court just ruled on Tuesday that police can't hold suspects to wait for a drug sniffing dog, so there's even more reason to refuse now.
