A casual conversation is what police use to establish probable cause for a search. Refusing to engage in a casual conversation cannot be used to establish probable cause if you have a decent lawyer. I have told officers that are trying to chat me up that I didn't want to have a casual conversation with the them and they could go about their business. I've had them respond with "cool man" in the best circumstance and harassment in the worst. But what happens in the street isn't what's important, not giving cause for a search or arrest is what helps in court.
