Leo stops can be for any made up reason, I'm sure we all agree. So how do they then turn it into a search? Mostly they just ask, since that wouldn't cut it with most forum members, leo now uses your refusal to order up a K9 unit. Then the K9 alerts and voilą, they're in!

It's mainly a bluffing game, and you better believe that the Leo's estimation of whether or not you can lawyer up plays a part in who gets their rights violated. That's how the good old boys in the South do it any way.

So, how does the average citizen get good legal representation? That is the problem with rights; you need money to be able to use them.
