If Cops Say "We'll Have to Bring a K-9" - Say THIS (Simple Phrase)

What should you say if a police officer tells you, “We’ll have to bring a K-9” during a traffic stop? In this video, we break down the simple phrase you can use to clearly refuse consent while staying calm and respectful: “Officer, I’m not consenting to any searches. Am I being detained, or am I free to leave?” We explain what happens when police mention a K-9, why you should avoid volunteering information or consent, and the important difference between refusing a search and refusing a lawful command. The video also covers key Supreme Court cases, including Illinois v. Caballes, Rodriguez v. United States, Pennsylvania v. Mimms, and Florida v. Harris, and explains why the timing of a traffic stop can matter under the Fourth Amendment. Important: Laws and procedures can vary by jurisdiction.
