I'll assume you meant to ask "Can the police search mycar when I'm not there?"

The only situation where the police would require your presence is if the justification for the search was your consent. Otherwise, the search could be based on the car appearing to be abandoned, unlawfully parked (which would permit it to be towed and inventoried), used in a crime, based on probable cause, incidental to an arrest, or other other circumstances. Even a consent search would be lawful if you or someone else having control of the vehicle had given their consent for a search with you not present.
