The police can and will search your car whenever the hell they feel like it. Whether or not it holds up in court is another matter, but it usually does.

This. Don't believe the "probable cause" argument because the police officer can make up anything to get your vehicle searched. And if you deny him access to your vehicle, he will call in a drug dog, trigger the dog to alert, and tear your vehicle apart

It's extremely rare... but people have had cases thrown out in court where the officer found like an ounce of weed or something, because they didn't have probable cause in the first place. But yeah... very rare.

Get a lawyer man. But you're pretty fucked if they found illegal shit. They can and will search your car when they feel like it. Probable cause is easy to lie about, "i smelled weed"...

Surprisingly this probably happens more often than not and unless you have the financial wherewithal to go through the appeals process you're fucked even if the search turns up nothing you still end up with a fucked up car. At that point a civil action is your only recourse and that costs money too. So they know your fucked either way.

No, I'm seriously asking that question for that specific answer. Just ANYTHING that can lead to a search being thrown out. Don't even worry about the excuses or lies.

A lawyer is the only thing that can get a search thrown out.

Depends on where you live.

It varies case by case but if in doubt, lawyer up.
You can try to consult with one but they need to review all the details / court documents and they will only generally do that after you pay 'em.
