They can explicitly inform you that you are under no obligation to accede to the request and will face no adverse consequences if you choose not to.
Except where explicitly legally mandated to do so, they do not tend to this, specifically because even if it is true, they wish people to perceive and act upon an implicit threat of violence for noncompliance.
