this is the part that people are getting stuck on. if he wants to search your vehicle, for whatever reason, you are better off letting him (unless you have something to hide) than being a wise ass. he will search your vehicle with or without your consent, is the point.
if he needs a warrant, he will get one. more often than not, probable cause is all he needs to effect a full search of your vehicle. probable cause includes him getting a whiff of marijuana or beer when you open your mouth to respond to him, or if he smells anything emanating from the car other than spent exhaust.
he will search your car.
you can be nice and allow him or you can watch from the back seat of the patrol car.
