"or the officer reasonably believes that he must search the auto for his or her own protection"
so basically that means they can always pull that wild card if you ask them what their PC is.

either way you look at it, regardless if you say "no" to a search, they gonna search it either way . Makes no sense to the amendments that protect the driver. I call it a false sense of security if you ask me
its like having a fence to keep people out, but that ain't gonna stop them from climbing it!!
In other words: you pretty much have no choice, unless you can conjure up some good argument (and know the law to the letter) and happen to outsmart the cop...then...maybe...then...can you say u outsmarted the cop

The Constitution prevents unreasonable searches. Use your rights or lose them.

states all over are in the processing of writing laws to prevent the gov't from overstepping their bounds like that. i believe there is a fed level one in the process too.

Me and my friend were pulled over at least 3 times and searched while driving his 86 bonnaville back in hs. EVERY time they thought we had drugs or were buying drugs or that we were out looking for hookers :wtf:. Not wanting to get in the way we said "go ahead and search the car" knowning there was nothing in it that was illegal. EVery time they frisked us and we waited 15 minutes for these dick bags to search the car and come up with nothing. The seats of his already older vehicle (only 20k miles though) were slightly torn, and the cops ripped them up more and more every time.
The reasons we were pulled over for:
Not signaling 100 feet before a stop sign
Not waiting long enough while stopping
I will never consent to a search if approached in my vehicle. I've had enough of that bullshit.
