Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

my friend was at work at her desk and the "task force police" had dogs run around the vehicles in the parking lot of her work and said that they had a hit and came in to her place of employment and told her to come outside and searched her vehicle and arrested her for possesion of marijuana "for a very small amount that was in the vehicle" is this legal?
