I'd say I got a signed consent form (after verbal consent to search) from at least 9 out of 10 people when I asked for consent to search. Pretty astonishing how easily people will surrender their privacy.
the one time I refused a search they proceeded to run me though a full DUI test (walk the line, breathalyzer) and when I passed that wrote me tickets for tail ight and failure to stop (rolling stop). Be brepared for shit when you refuse.
If you know nothing is to be found, it is easier to sign away your rights.
