Legal Question in Traffic Law in Iowa

If I am a valid driver, driving my own valid vehicle and get stopped for going a few miles over the speed limit and my passenger just so happens to have warrants that I knew nothing about; do they have the right to search me, my vehicle, and tell me they want to take me to the sherriff's office to have a female jailor search me??
