It takes less time to say "No. Am I free to go?" Than it does to say "Yes." and let them paw through your trunk.
Bad excuse for being unwilling (or unable) to stand up for your and my fundamental rights to privacy.
It's not about pleasure it's about standing up for our rights and not letting police erode and erode and erode them because people are either ignorant of their rights or unwilling to stand up for them. The "if you have nothing to hide" defense is a perfect example.
The very fact that this HAPPENED means there are officers who think they can do whatever they want on a man's private property. This HAPPENS because they're not trained by their departments and citizens saying "No" to keep their power in check.
