I'm not sure. They have some right to verify that your vehicle isn't illegally modified, putting it in violation of state inspection. But I don't know how far their right to verify that extends. They can write you a ticket for just hearing your exhaust though....

with the answer of "NO" would mean, you are giving permission to search your vehicle.
i have made it very clear:
No Sir! You may NOT search my vehicle. i do NOT give you permission
clear enough?
:roll:
i guess speaking correct english is just too difficult.
Do you mind if I search your car?
Yes, i do mind. I will not give permission.
a bit clearer wouldn't you say?

if you got nothing to hide, why bother resist? Just think the officer is doing their job to make the community a safer place.
I got profiled driving thru Kentucky in 1998. Being Asian in a Asian sports car with out of state plate speeding behind bunch of white folks (6 cars total in a 1 lane highway, my car was the 4th), I was the one they pulled over because I stuck out like a sore thumb. He officer even told me that I don't fit the "local profile of their typical citizens". Asked to see my car, I said sure. He looked at my laundry detergent in a coffee jar and my wardrobe in the trunk and let me go. All but set me back 10 minutes. I'm sure if I resisted, it would be hours before I resume my journey.
Yes, my civil rights were violated that day but I'm sure the officer felt his state was a safer place because of their profiling practices.
