Barry Cooper knows whats best. As a former top narcotics agent, Barry suggests that if you have nothing to hide, or have your 'stash' hidden very well, you should often let the police search you/ your car/ your home. In 95% of instances if you allow a search, they will do a small look over or light search. However, refusing to be searched, EVEN IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY INNOCENT, is often a instant red flag for officers to prolong your interview as long as possible to hopefully in that time determine reasonable suspicion to do a search to the full extent of the law. This is not always the case, but it is obvious that refusing to search can sometimes be much worse the a search. Sadly every day Canada becomes a little more guilty until proven innocent.
