Yes they can. However, the law says that they can only do this if there exists a probable cause to do so (ex: the cops are 90% sure that you are a top member of a terrorist organization) and if time is of the essence (ie. it would take too long for a judge to issue the warrant and by the time he/she did, a lot of people would've died).

If they feel they have probable cause to suspect that you are carrying something dangerous or illegal, yes they can search your vehicle without a warrant. Your defense attorney can raise the question at your trial and perhaps get the evidence excluded if the judge thinks the cops didn't actually have probable cause.

If you give them permission to search the car it doesnt matter if it is locked or not. It would be like saying ok you can search but not here or here trust me you do that you just gave them probable cause to get a warrant.so it would be searched either way

If you give them permission, sure. If the driver of the car was arrested, sure (its called Search Incident to Arrest or Inventory Search if the car was impounded). Is it within the wingspan of your reach? If so, then if they can articulate a reasonable belief that such a search was necessary for safety reasons, then yes, they certainly can. Happy motoring.

In theory, not unless they have probable cause, but they will probably use your refusal to consent to a search as probable cause, or just may make it up.
The Police in America pretty much don't have any restraints on them any more.

you will desire to alter oil AND clear out each and every 3 to 6 thousand miles. the subject with no longer doing that's that oil gets grimy, regardless of a clear out and the combustion technique contaminates the oil with acid. enable it pass long adequate and the clear out clogs so there isn't any filtration of airborne dirt and dirt and metallic debris and the acid builds to the point that it eats away engine factors best to early engine failure. in case you're having to characteristic oil in lots of cases then you definitely the two have a leaky gasket someplace or the acid and airborne dirt and dirt have worn factors to the element that your engine is burning oil. in case you notice a bluish smoke popping out of your exhaust you're burning oil.

all they need is a reason to pull you over, like speeding, running a light, no headlight or taillight.....then they can search your entire car if they want to, including locked items, they will make you open it
