Misinformation galore. They can only search your vehicle if: they have either "probable cause", you're on probation/parole in which you gave up your right to the Fourth Amendment, you're stopped for an offense which leads to an arrest (DUI). Definition of probable cause is clearly broad and if the cops don't really have probable cause but they decide to search anyways, then any evidence found would easily be thrown out in Court.
