If you get stopped by the cops the 1st thing you should I do is call a lawyer The Police cannot refuse permission. The summoning a layer causes a little fear into the officer .He is aware that if a lawyer is there during search and he violates your civil rights he might get into trouble. Even more so because the lawyer would be recording your converastion. Its no longer the cop's word againt yours. You have a 3rd party involved -a lawyer.
Next give him your driver's license if any, car registration if car is there and proof of insuranse of the car to the cop.
Next on your lawyers advice you go through the read the following text off the back the lawyers business card. This always pisses of the cop because you have asked the cop to respect your constitional rights and there for in the cops view I must be a scum bag criminal.
You can refuse to consent to any search whatsoever. Hereby I am exercise my rights as enumerated by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution You can I demand to have my attorney present prior to and throughout any questioning at all.
Additionally, if you wish to consult with your attorney prior to any discussion with law enforcement officers on the subject of waiver.
If the cop wants to illegally search your car or violate your other civil rights he has to commit the crime in front a lawyer and just might get caught.
This lawyer trick is pretty effective. It can turn a jackbooted thug with a gun and badge who was planning to violate your civil rights into a mild lamb who will just write you a ticket and not even bother to illegally search your car

Can the police search me and my home?
By Alison Donnally [April 19th, 2005]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution places significant limits on the government’s ability to search the homes and property of citizens. Under the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement officers must have a search warrant, issued on a showing of probable cause, in order to search a private home or premises without the consent of the occupants.
However, there are numerous limitations on the requirement that officers obtain warrants prior to search. In certain limited, "exigent" circumstances, police may search a home or other premises without first obtaining a warrant. These circumstances include a good faith belief on the part of the police that:
a person’s life is in danger;
evidence might be destroyed;
or a suspect may be about to escape.
If a person is arrested, officers may search the individual and the immediate area around the person, in a search "incident to an arrest."
Electronic eavesdropping is regarded as a form of search under the Fourth Amendment. As a result, law enforcement officers must obtain warrants before tapping phones. These warrants are typically issued with very tight limitations on:
the time period in which they can be conducted;
the manner in which law enforcement officers must limit eavesdropping on conversations not related to criminal activity.
Under the judge-made "exclusionary rule," evidence that is seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment cannot be introduced as evidence in the trial of a criminal case. The purpose of this rule is to dissuade law enforcement officers from ignoring Fourth Amendment limitations on their right to search in order to obtain evidence of a crime.

Whatever it says on the warrant. Each warrant contains its own parameters.
In the US, the warrant must "particularly describe the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." (4th Amendment). So, the warrant contains its own limits.
Some warrants allow the police to enter and search without notice to the suspect, some require notice. Some allow only search for specific contraband, some allow broad confiscation of materials for later analysis. It all depends on what the judge authorizes.

It is a legal warrant that allows the police to search for whatever illegal items that might be in your home, work place or where ever it is the search warrant it taken to.
It is something that one can not stop the police from searching once the warrant is handed to the party that it is made out for.
Do not try to stop the police from searching once they announce they have it.

Search warrants vary so it depends on what the judge allows.
