Turning down an optional search of your persons or belongings does not constitute reasonable suspicion. I wish the courts would have sent a stronger message to this point. Clearly Officer Struble interpreted mr. Rodriguez decline as a reason to be suspicious of him.

Always say no. Always decline. This needs to be come the default/norm. Read about how inaccurate field substance tests are here[0]. People go to jail for this stuff even though they are law-abiding citizens who actually _didn't_ have anything to hide.
