They need probable cause to do a vehicle search, other than what happens to be in plain site.
They can call in for a warrant whatever, but they still need cause for that.
If they fudge the call, the fruits of their search get thrown out rather easily.
You just need to know when to tell them fuck off, or when to eat it.
Unfortuantely sometimes the principle isn't worth the extra 30 minutes of a field sobriety test, and/or full vehicle check.
