The mere refusal of a request is the suspicion used to justify the search which is circular and bullshit. Reasonable suspicion and probable cause are already thin standards that even if an officer is shown to be lying are still supported. Even if the guy is guilty of something, the way they went about this is wrong wrong wrong. More and more, LE seems to be looking to take the easy route by seizing the evidence first then justifying the arrest. Also interesting is how many "terror" suspects are accused of having illegal porn on their devices as if its plated there for good measure.
