It depends or the circumstances when/why they searched, as to what powerws they had. There is no way of answering your question until i know this

They must have reasonable grounds to do so, which is normally drugs or possibly terrorism these days.

Either way, the registered keeper of the car must consent. Useful if its in the wifes name for tax purposes :lol:

As far as i know they are only allowed a visual check of your car, if you dont want them to look inside or under the bonnet they cant.

If you get out of your car and lock it the police must obtain a search warrent in order to look inside your car.

:lol: i feel they followed the scent for miles and tracked me down!

:lol:

must of been donuts...

No they smelled something! I dont know what :o

thats cos u look dodgy :lol:

Well i have had them look around my car for a reason and they searched everywhere!

i've had em look round car, but they couldn't touch or move anything......think they couldn't find a reason to search

if they have reason to believe you are concealing something then yes they can look in there.

Depends on the situation really, had you been pulled over? Do you have a record?

ah well

cops do what they want. surely uve learnt this by now :|

no they can search locked glovebox or car if you are preasent and they caution you

No they can search the whole car

doubt it, surely if the car was locked then they would need a warrent too.

if the glove box of my car was locked, would you need a warrent to search it?

same withe the boot/trunk of the car
