Usually, yes. There are lots of exceptions, but once he's got you stopped, you are there til he lets you go.
Answer:
Most states licenses (drivers) have a stipulation that states; "By signing and accepting this drivers license, you herby agree to show/surrender this license to a law enforcment official, consent to search your person, posessions, and vehicle during a routine traffic stop......etc...etc..." So By virtue of having a license, the license, in a way, becomes a warrant to search your vehicle. Further, The officer must still provide a reason or "probable cause" ti show there was a reasonable excuse to why he thought a search would yield evidence for any other specific charge that may result in an arrest or charges other than the stop.
Answer by lawbuff;
A DL issuance is not a reason to circumvent the 4th AM as stated above and does not constitute a waiver. There is no state in the Union that has a DL law stating such express waiver.
Read; Arizona v. Gant; US SC, for some insight, it cites other auto search decisional laws.

If the search warrant is wrong can the police still used the evidence they found against you?
No. If the search warrant is invalid and they illegally searched you or someone you know (like without reasonable cause, or without the warrant) then they can't use any evidence against you. To the best of my knowledge, anyways. I don't know how many ways a search warrant can be wrong though...if they were searching for like, pot, but found cocaine, they CAN use that though. Or a gun, or something like that. If they have the warrant, they can use it. If they searched without the warrant, its invalid and inadmissible 100%.
