Never consent to a search.
Generally a good heuristic, but...
I literally had nothing to hide, and figure the more cooperative I am the faster I can get this whole thing behind me. Also, they didn't find anything--rather they didn't plant anything to 'find' it later. And I don't particularly care if they do end up arresting me, mostly because how ridiculous it'd be if they did.
They have no case against me, not only because I'm innocent, but because no one in the class is even sure about the others' names and it's based on hearsay that wasn't reported for two weeks. Also,
I am the least threatening person in the class! Being a
pacifist, and all.
Oh sure, I'm angry, crazy, have no friends, hold a 'radical' political view, know too much trivial knowledge about guns (damn you,
Gunsmith Cats!), play violent videogames, no job, a hatred of small children, and should probably stop listing how I fit the profile of a gunman immediately, but.... damn, where was I going with this?
