After following me for about 5 miles he pulls me over and asks for my license and registration, which I give to him. He looks my car over; everything is current like the inspection sticker, registration, etc. Next the cop asks me for my consent to search my car. I reply that not only did he not have probable cause to pull me over in the first place, but he also has no probable cause to search my car and therefore, no, I do not consent to a search. Cop calls his supervisor who asks me how I'm doing. Fine, I reply, and I ask why I'm pulled over. He goes over to the first cop who'd stopped me, got my lisence and registration from him, giving 'em back to me and saying "have a nice night". I leave, am followed to county line. Any idea what causes this to happen? I do drive an older car (1985 thunderbird). Was it a good idea to not give consent to a search? I don't use and drugs at all, nor do I drink, so I had no acid, no weed, no beer. Thanks for your thoughts on this.
