Last time I was there I was pulled over for doing 30 in a 35 because he "thought it was suspicious". The rental was then searched by him and a K-9 because he "thought he smelled pot" when I rolled down the window.
Prove him wrong... he has a Badge and you are free to wait in jail for interfering or obstruction. Oh Yeah... reasonable execution, so civil won't work either.
He is absolutely right. Kalifornia is Denver x10 when it comes to the ol "you can beat the rap but you cant beat the ride" mantra. Frankly I would leave it at home and not take the chance.
