In some situations, officers are allowed to search you without a warrant. As an Example: When the driver attempted to elude/evade the police contact.
You should POLITELY make it clear that you do not consent to the search; but do not resist, do not interfere, do not argue, do not lie, and do not be rude to any police officer.
DO NOT try to explain or try to deal with the situation at the scene. Call a Lawyer. A Lawyer, with your input, can argue in Court that you rights may have been violated.
If you are arrested, the police can search you.
IF THE POLICE ASK TO SEARCH YOUR CAR DURING A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP:
DO NOT CONSENT TO A SEARCH IF THE POLICE DO NOT HAVE A WARRANT!
If the police state that they have a Warrant, politely ask to see the warrant.
Remember: tell the Police: "I want an attorney" and DO NOT answer any questions.

What if the Officer Hands Me a Ticket?
If you're given a ticket, you should sign it. It is NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT. The officer can arrest you if you refuse to sign the ticket. You can always fight the case in court later.
