I was wondering why he didn't just clam up and let them arrest him, and then I read this:

> He was given a break for dinner and to speak to his lawyer, who was present.

I have to wonder if, after seeing how far off the reservation these guys were, his lawyer just told him to go with it in hopes that the whole thing would backfire. Which it looks like it has, at least to a point, if the judge ruled the search unlawful.
