[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1814937, member: 5151"] Must be my long hair (and usually unkempt facial hair). FWIW, I've never had an officer come to my window. I have always been asked to walk slowly to their car, sometimes backwards (which is NOT fun on the side of a busy interstate at night when a semi or two can't get into the left lane for whatever reason). I guess I fit the profile. According to most of my LEO friends, it's a routine question. (And no, "friends" is not sarcastic here. My best friends mostly consist of LEO. And lawyers. And maybe a judge or two.) By the way, failure to consent cannot be used as any part of the basis for the search. The reasonable suspicion or probable cause must have existed prior to the request. When the officer starts stalling to wait for a canine (that has a <50% hit rate in a controlled environment, but a >75% hit rate on the side of the road), they are promptly informed about reasonable time to conduct business pertaining to the subject of the stop. If he says a canine is on its way, I'll request an oral summary of reasonable suspicion (outside of simply meeting the profile) for the dashcam or lapel recorder prior to the dog's arrival. I treat traffic stops the way I treat knock-and-talks. Everyone should know and assert their rights. [/QUOTE]
