Best Answer

The police can look around for where a person might be hiding if you have given them permission. If they see something illegal while looking for the person they can arrest you. They cannot ask to look for a person and go through your suitcases or any place a person could not be. The fact is, it will be your word against theirs at trial, and the illegal stuff will have been in plain sight when they describe how they found it.
