Consent searches
I show up at your door, armed to the teeth. Then I say I’d like to search your home. What do you do? Odds are, you let me in. But is that really a consent search? Per this:
Police last week seized a number of firearms during consent searches of homes in the area, but need the bullet to match against them. Police also served a search warrant at the property they believe the shot originated from.

You know,if a cop shows up at my door and asks if he can search my home, first I’m gong to ask to see his warrant. If he doesn’t have one, I’ll give him 30 seconds to leave before I call the cops to arrest him for trespassing.

I wonder: if you tell them no, is that probably cause?

No, they cannot use that against you. They can, however, take full advantage of the fact that some people are too stupid to say “no.”
