What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
On the fourth of July I was headed into a public park (not a private park) to watch fireworks. The police stopped me and asked to search my bag to make sure I did not bring alcohol. I refused permission and then the police said I would not be able to enter the public park if I refused a search. My question is: Is it legal for the police to require me to leave a public park because I refuse a search? And what is the difference between not allowing me into a public park and not allowing me to cross a public street because I refuse a search? The whole thing seems very questionable to me. Please include the name of any cases that support your opinion on this issue. Thank you.
