The problem with never consenting to a search or never talking to police is the ease with which cops can ruin your weekend (and even life) if they get pissed off at you. I may be able afford a lawyer but is the night in jail worth the effort to assert my rights?

This is why cops on Interstates will target out of state plates. People just want to get on to their destination. And not being a state resident, it makes it harder for them to fight after the fact. [citation needed]
