Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Generally a law enforcement officer cannot search your vehicle without "probable cause" based on articurlable facts, or consent, or possibly exigent circumstances. Your question is very vague and so the answer must be general. If you want a more specific answer, you should contact me or some other qualified attorney to go over the specific facts of your case.
