I don't have a problem with officer's asking for consent to search if no RAS/PC exists. However, I would have a problem if an officer assumes guilt because consent is not given. I realize they may call for K9, and watching LivePD I've seen a lot of times where K9 does indicate drugs as well as many times not. But can police detain you longer for a traffic stop solely for the purpose of waiting for K9? I would think that is questionable, because you are being detained longer than is reasonable for a traffic stop.

That being said, my favorite LivePD episode of a non-consent search was last month (July 20th) in Williamson County of the attorney from Austin. He did not consent but K9 Axel alerted and they found small amount of marijuana inside car driver side. It went downhill for him from there. In his trunk there was a large quantity of multiple drugs: https://www.kxan.com/investigations/aus ... tional-tv/ or here: https://www.statesman.com/news/20190723 ... affic-stop - the second link has the Affidavit of all the drugs found.
