Is not showing your "N" reason for probable cause..?

This is in Canada:
Im a new driver and have my "N" or novice designation. Im supposed to have the Green N magnet on the back of my car at all times. However, ive never once put it on my car.., generally young people commonly accept that "N"s are heatskore and a reason to be pulled over by disgruntled cops.
What im wondering is, if i got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, and upon examining my license and discovering that i am a novice class 7 driver. Could this be used as probable cause to instigate a search?

I dont know the Canadian laws too well but if its anything like me crossing the Canadian border... they like to search for no reason.
Just dont carry anything with you that would get you in trouble, or put the N on your car so you wont risk getting searched.

Put a C on the car beside the N. When you get pulled over for no reason, and the cop asks you what the C means, tell him that C is for the hidden Camera in the car and that you love posting to youtube.

Better yet, tell him that the "C" stands for "kiss my ass". That'll confuse him up real good.

You should say what province you are in...because I live in Canada (Ontario), and I don't think we have to put a "N" on our cars

That sounds stupid, but really you could just put the thing on your car and avoid the hassle. I'm assuming however, that this has all already happened, so theres probably some sort of fine for not having the magnet on the car and since you were already in shit for that, I suppose they could search your car, I've been searched for way less, ie: pulling out of my work parking lot late at night, signaling to turn right, then changing my mind turning off the signal and going straight, not being able to parallel park on command, routine checks....

Cops don't need probable cause. Cops lie. It's a fact. They can always say they smelled this or you did that. Who is going to be believed? You or the cop?

exactly, they dont need a legitimate reason to claim probable cause..... which is why its called PROBABLE cause and not DEFINATE cause. all he has to say is he smelled pot. thats it. or that he thought he saw a baggie full of an unknown substance on the floor of your car.

Well, i keep my car tidy, and do not smoke pot nor consume any drugs inside the car.Nor do i drink ANY alcohol before driving. I am a very precise driver who follows the rules of the road immaculately *read paranoid.*
Now, the reason i do not put the magnet on, is because i often driver with more than 1 person. (with the N - you are only allowed to drive with 1 passenger.)
It is well known, that around here (British Columbia) - that Flying your N as a young driver, is an excuse to pull you over, especially if your out of your normal areas. Im old enough to have my full license so i fly by on luck with that. + if i was to get pulled over in the off chance, and get called on not showing the N, i can always just say someone stole it (as highschoolers love to collect them.) However, this only works if you have 1 passenger.
If just hate to searched the odd time a friend might have a bag of pot on them, or something.
Seems like Flying the N, or not is equal reason to search.
