That's not true. There needs to be probable cause before police can search a vehicle. Absent probable cause, permission must be given, which is what happened in the case at issue.

Aw, how cute, you think you still have rights.

See Terry vs. Ohio 1968.

During a detention, anything you can immediately reach is searchable without a warrant. Read the 4th amendment carefully, you are only protected against "unreasonable" searches and seizures. The SCOTUS has ruled Terry searches to be reasonable warrantless searches.

All that is required for a detention is RAS which is a much, much lower standard than Probable Cause.

I'm well aware of all that. I thought you guys were talking about the case at hand. Fact is, the police asked for permission to search the vehicle. Rule of thumb, cops don't ask for permission that they don't need.
