Now is a good time to remind people to never ever agree to a police search. They're gonna phrase things weird and take advantage of your good nature. Never agree to any sort of search.

Hell, even if they have a warrant I'm tempted to explicitly say I don't consent. I'm not going to resist but I'm gonna make it clear I'm not consenting. Because how the hell do I even verify a warrant is real? I have no idea, and I certainly wouldn't be able to find out if they're at my door.

Be aware though, in Georgia there is "implied consent" with regards to roadside breathalyzer tests. If you get in that situation, remember I'm just a random lemming and not a lawyer. Other states might have similar things.

"If you get in that situation, remember I'm just a random lemming and not a lawyer."

Indeed! And along those lines, ask for a lawyer if you're arrested. Especially if you're innocent. People who think "I'll look guilty if I ask for a lawyer" just make themselves vulnerable to words being twisted against them.

If you are in custody, you already look guilty to them.

Ask them to show you and take a pic of it for your records.

Pro tip: set a shortcut to your camera on your lock screen so you don't have to unlock your phone.

On most Android phones there's a physical shortcut for the camera like pressing the lock button twice.

And if they give you some bullshit about "exigent circumstances" to try to convince you to agree to something, just remember, if they met the criteria for exigent circumstances, they wouldn't be asking, they'd have already broken your window or door or otherwise removed your agency.

This is what I tried to get at with taking advantage of your good will. When we order people to do things we often frame it as a question to be polite. "Would you please do X?" So we're used to hearing questions and just saying "yeah sure".
