[QUOTE]Originally posted by Black Pearl: [QB] I've been under the impression that if they ask you to look under your hood, it falls under a consentual search. Sometimes they word it in a way that makes you feel as if you have no choice. But in the end, the choice is yours. Falls under the plain view doctrine (which has been modified to include smell and hearing i believe.) Now, if this is true, they would need to obtain a search warrant to check under your hood OR have just cause. IF they ask to look under your hood, you can always say no. In a big city, they would probably just be on their way and give you a little ticket for somthing crappy like a taillight or lisence plate lamp. In a small town, they might call up the judge and try to get phone approval for the warrant just to get the collar. You can never tell, but i'm pretty sure that you do have the option to let them under your hood or not. Just my 2 cents. :-D [/QB][/QUOTE]
