Re: can this be right
After a police officer determines that you are ok and pose no danger to him the police only have the right to search the vehicle with your consent or if they have probable cause to search the vehicle. Generally, a police officer may not search, but can look in the vehicle absent probable cause to search or consent. If your situation is as you described it, you may have a good motion to supress any contraband that was found as a result of the illegal search.
