KHP Trooper Justin Rohr . . . also testified that the highway patrol trains its officers to use the “Kansas Two Step” strategy as a means of gaining consent to question drivers further when reasonable suspicion is not apparent. He said he believes drivers know that they don’t have to respond when being questioned further.

Bullshit. He knows they don't, and its by design. Pure copaganda infused into our bloodstream in popular media and during programs at school designed to instill obedience to cops from the get-go. Did you go over your constitutional rights in a civics class? I know I certainly didn't.
