They regularly do when you cross the border. If you give them probable cause during a traffic stop, they will search. How ridiculous would it be for a cop to wake the judge to sign a warrant if the cop thought you had a stash under your seat?

∙ 9y agoA cop can search your car without a warrant if he has your consent or if there's probable cause to believe you have something illegal hidden inside. They can also look inside to see if something illegal happens to be in plain view.

∙ 14y agoThat depends. If a Police Officer has arrested you for an offence, and you are in your vehicle, or just committed an offence with that vehicle, then yes, they can search without warrant. It is allot different in the case of a dwelling house. A police officer can search a residence without warrant in two separate but very important and uncommon conditions: 1. Exigent Circumstances- This is when a Police Officer believes that an offence is or has occurred and that if they depart the residence to get a warrant to search, the evidence would be removed or destroyed. This may come in play in a very remote area where a police officer is alone and cannot call for someone to come and watch a residence while he/ she returns to their office to type and seek a warrant. 2. If a police officer has reason grounds to believe that someone may be in a residence and may be hurt, or may get hurt, then they can search to ensure the safety of a person. The best example of this is when a hang up 911 call is placed and then the residents deny the police access to the house to ensure everyone is safe. This is not just in Ontario, but all of Canada. Hope that helped.....

In Canada what is the difference between a search warrant and a general warrant?
A search warrant allows police to search for property and seize specific property, at a specific time, for a specific reason; In Canada a "General Warrant" allows the police to use a particular technique or method, (that without Judicial authority would be considered a breach of the persons rights) to obtain information relating to an offense. An example of a General Warrant would be: Authorization for the police to conduct a perimeter search of a property to look for signs of say a marijuana grow operation (condensation, smell etc) These observations can not be physically seized (They are observations and not property) and therefore a search warrant is not applicable.
