Usually the driver/owner as long as it is physically not on a person but in the vehicle. As far as the search who knows,maybe the driver gave permission which brings up another point. If there are 2 or more passengers in the vehicle shouldn't it take the permission of all to search without a warrant? Sounds to me like this is FUBAR and will be challenged at a later date and subsequently be struck down.

No warrant is needed to search immediately accessable areas of a vehicle. During any detention a Terry search may be performed for the officier's safety without a warrant.

Wasn't this a ruling by the US Supreme Court?
