Yeah, they can refuse and heck, they can even refuse rudely, but if there's cause, then that refusal will not do anything to help them. In fact, it will only fast-track their way to a citation and/or county jail. Personal responsibility is key for me, attitude goes a long ways.
Since when do the actors of law enforcement have the best interests of a person breaking a said law in mind? Cooperation during interaction with law enforcement should be the legal minimum. At that point both involved are diametric adversaries.
