You're pulled over for a broken taillight. The officer asks to search your car. Do you know if you have to consent to the search? Can you refuse to consent?
Most people who consent to searches do it because they have nothing to hide.
While that may seem like a fast way to speed up the police stop, most officers are looking for a reason to arrest you, not the other way around.
Check out this video to find out why you should never consent to any search from a law enforcement officer.
