Not a very enlightening answer.  Is any citizen entitled to say, "Not in MY 
car, you don't"?  If not, what would it take, and how long, to convince a cop 
that ready transportation really was not available from me?  My car does not 
have special equipment or identifying features.  Don't sigh again, please.  
Thinking does not enable us to know laws, police procedures or any other 
specialized, unfamiliar or unexperienced thing.
