The Probable Cause Exception. Police may search a vehicle if there is probable cause to believe that the car contains evidence of criminal activity. For example, if a car interior smells like marijuana, the police can search the vehicle. Under this exception, the police can search the car trunk or containers where contraband could be found.
However, if the police stop you for something minor like a tail light being out, and when they approach your car and smell pot, or see something illegal in the car, the car can be searched. Once the police have probable cause to believe a crime is or may be occurring that gives them the right to search your vehicle.
