Yeah I've seen that on reality cop shows. That tactic isn't used here - in fact most forces ban us from doing voluntary searches (note, voluntary searchs are legal, but most forces dislike them so make them against internal policy). However, having said that, from the little I know of American law, our powers in the UK seem to be more far reaching, giving us powers to search when in America, they wouldn't have the required 'probable cause' and so we don't really need tactics such as that.
That's good, the other thing that I have to laugh at is how when the cops have read them their rights either they keep talking digging themselves in deeper and deeper, or after they've told the cops that they don't want to talk. The cops keep asking them questions, or baiting them with "don't you want to get your side out?"
