Sorry man, I misread where you already stated probable cause.
Yeah, badpill is right.

If there is no probable cause they can not detain you for the sole reason of refusing a search.

Only if there is probably cause the supreme court says they can detain you for a 'reasonable' amount of time, which is looked at on an individual basis. Or the time it takes to write your ticket.

Sorry about that!

I would have probably done the same thing though. As far as playing it cool with the search.

I do hate police that try to act like your friend while they're questioning you, though.
