Have you ever had a cop still try to search your vehicle/house etc. after you denied a search?

Succeed - no.
Des Moines cops are pricks!
I told him no and asked him why he wanted to, he couldn't give me a straight answer. When he said he was going to "call in the dogs" I told him - in my most authoritative voice (my father was an army sergeant-cop and I learned from him) - the only way I was going to stay was if he arrested me and he better have a damned good reason for doing that.
It was then I think he realized I was not a youngster and not so easily intimidated, he backed-off and left.
Your house is a totally different matter and requires a search warrant, without it any evidence found would be inadmissible in court. I know this as I originally took a LL.B law degree in university, before I changed course :)
so I told him:
as Jay-Z once said "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one"
If you don't stand up for your Constitutionally protected rights, you won't have them. Not only that but refusing to protect your rights and the rights of your fellow citizens is a failure to live up to your responsibility as a free citizen.
An officer asked me if they could search and I asserted my rights and asked to see a warrant. They tried to "threaten" and "bully" me about how tough it was going to be on me because I didn't cooperate with them, they even went so far as to imply that I might get hurt for "resisting" (I wasn't resisting, I was only asserting verbally). I told them over and over, that "I do not consent to a search of my home". I was so loud that my neighbors heard what I was saying.
The police sat in front of my home while they where supposedly getting a warrant and after about fifteen minutes a police supervisor pulled up, came to my door and apologized and told me about the mistake and for me to have a nice day.
