Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

Visiting Iowa from Colorado. Pulled over for burnt out third break light. The officer asked to search my car saying something illegal would be in there since I'm from Colorado. I told him no to the search and went on my way. Is this profiling as I feel insulted.
