I certainly think they are trained to to say "take a look in the car real quick, ok?" as a way to get more people to say yes than if they said "do I have your permission to search your car?" It's just like sales people will do - "we'll do this real quick, okay?" rather than "do you want to do this?"
I always decline, telling them I have an appointment or whatever, trying to be as friendly and respectful as possible about declining. 90% of the time, they'll ask a couple more times, then give up. Once, they brought the K9 out to sniff the car.
Just 30 minutes ago I got a warning for 12 over and earlier today my brother was so engrossed in a phone call that he didn't see the FOUR cop cars behind him until they started to pitt him. He only got a speeding ticket for his accidental high speed chase, so I think being respectful makes a huge difference, but I respectfully decline to let them search.
