But to your misinterpretation of my point .
How about this.
Cop
"You there in the military fatigues with that HUGE backpack. Can I ask what is in it?"
Bad Guy
"No you have no right to search it"
Cop
"I didn't ask to search it I asked what is in it. Now that you mention it you can either open it up on your own or I can call down and we can wait for a warrant because you are acting suspicious. If you like sir we can go down to the station now while we wait for the warrant. You choose."
If you don't think stuff like this goes on 24-7 then you are wearing Rose colored glasses.

yeah, cause he'd have said 'a bomb' if a cop had asked? carrying a backpack isn't suspicious. refusing a search without a warrant is a constitutional right. hanging out at midnight in a neighborhood known for drugs-that's suspicious. standing at a marathon with a backpack-not suspicious.
