Will the lawyer help me get over the pain of being shot or beat up?
I don't have anything to hide and I would rather calmly sort out the matter of an illegal search and entry in one piece later.
The point is not to resist lawful arrest, or even abuse of power. Never do that. The point is you do not need to give to consent to illegal search and seizure. If they over ride your clearly stated lack of consent, their actions will never hold up in a Court of law. (As long as you do everything right, and don't give them any valid reason to arrest you)
Any LEO that would violate the law like that WILL be able to make a case against you that will stick in Court! And no lawyer will be able to do anything about it, no matter how innocent you are. The ONLY thing you can give a lawyer to work with is if you refuse to consent to search (or seizure.)
Anyone who is innocent, LEO should NOT be able to come back with a search warrant. And even if they can, now you're in a position where a lawyer at least has a fighting chance. (It'll cost you though)
