This thread is not humor, but should probably pass after Friday the 13th...

While treading on thin ice regarding Vanagon content, I must agree with the argument not allowing searches. I would be polite, but refuse. Last time I read the US Bill of Rights, the 4th amendment was still there and it requires probable cause. Refusal to let a cop search does not constitute cause.

If everyone keeps allowing this kind of crap to go on, it won't be long until we're living in a state where you constantly have to submit to roadblocks where they ask "papers, please."
