very good point. If the "I have nothing illegal in this car" doesn't deflect the question you're in trouble, because you're backed into a corner with an ignorant officer. I'd probably answer, "Officer, I don't have any weapons on me." I'd offer to get out of the car and let him "Terry" me, but make it clear that I don't consent to any searches of the car, by locking it after I exit.

This will probably happen until an officer arrests someone under the new law, and gets a court judgement. Though, hopefully most officers will be aware of the new law.

Your best bet is to be respectful, yet firm, I guess.
