    That being stopped by the police and saying you’d don’t consent to being searched won’t fly in the UK. The police have the right to use force if you refuse to be searched. So say that line and expect yourself to be pinned to the ground and searched anyway.

      In the US you can state your denial of consent to the search when you have that right, but do not offer physical resistance. Point being to state it, but don’t get yourself shot or beaten.
