Do the police need a search warrant during a traffic stop to search a safe not attached to the car?

I believe they do need a warrant to check private property but if the safe is in the car and your entering a restricted area then they wont be needing a warrant.
ADDED: The questioner has neatly left out any explanation as to how and why this safe had anything to do with their vehicle. The police would have been derelict in their duty if they had not looked into the circumstances that they were apparently faced with. If the police had reasonable suspicion that this "un-attached" safe might be the "fruits of a crime" they will take action to either confirm their suspicion or set their suspicion to rest. After all . . . how many people drive around with "un-attached" safes in, or on, their car?

Can a police office allowed to overrule a traffic signal?
The whole point of having a police officer directing traffic is that he will override the traffic signals in order to create a better flow of traffic. This can be necessary during unusual happenings such as a traffic accident or a sports stadium emptying out. If motorists were going to obey the traffic lights anyway, there would be no point in putting the police officer there!

No. The service of a warrant when the officers are notified by telephone or radio has been repeatedly upheld. The burden on law enforcement of requiring them to present a physical warrant would be unreasonable, most particularly when a very large percentage of warrants are served during unexpected encounters between police and the subject of the warrant.
