Not an american, not my circus.I can tell you are however, as only americans assume everyone is an american.
The supreme court of the us, over and over again have ruled that a persons possessions (including vehicles) have protections from warrantless search. Why the fuck did you think the whole "I smell cannabis" line was used so often if they did not need reasonable cause?
Now does this stop the police doing whatever they want? No not at all, but you leaning into your own oppression by thinking that anything "delivered from a benevolent judicial priesthood" is meaningless is not as cool and edgy as you think it is.
