Re: car searches
Your question requires a very complicated answer because you do not provide any specifics about the search. For example, if the driver is arrested and the car has to be impounded, Yes, the car can be searched and inventoried.
The car could also be searched if the police have a "reasonable" suspicion there is contraband or weapons inthe car.
The answer to your question is very sensitive to the particular facts of the stop and/or arrest of the driver.

Depending on the facts it's possible. The answer requires a thorough analysis which can only be done in a consultation with a criminal defense attorney. Good luck.
