This is a fact specific question and usually comes down to your word versus theirs. They have the right to keep themselves safe to start with.

Re: Refusing to let police to serch you

YOu asked about a random search. Police cannot stop and search you on mere suspicion or on intuition. They cannot stop and search you on anything less than probable cause.

If you have been harassed by the police, or you have an open case and have not hired a lawyer, and you want to speak to an attorney, I am always availabe to answer any questions you may have.

Good Luck.
