What "significant problems" was he threatening you with?


He did not explicitly threaten me. However, because the administration pretty much just listens to what public safety says, things like enrollment were potentially at stake.[0,1] I was not willing to trade those potentials for a search that I knew would result in nothing.

[0] This is evidenced by the fact that my initial refusal was brought up later in a meeting with the administration.

[1] Imagine with me: officer assumes that my refusal implies possession of banned substance, uses refusal to file a report in that vein, two days later I'm force to prove to the administration that I didn't have the banned substance at the time. That's obviously impossible.

Edit: grammar.


I think you were bullied with empty threats.
