The starting assumptions are ****ed up. Cops *can* search your car.... IF
1) they have a warrant
2) they have your consent
3) they have probable cause
I don't see how any of those situations would exclude the glove box. Even if you try some fancy play like saying "I consent to a search of the entire car EXCEPT for the glove box" then the cop would argue that's probable cause to search the glove box and would almost certainly be vindicated in court.
Did some further research and turns out you're wrong. They can't search your locked glove box even if they search your car. They need a warrant even if consent is given.
However this might depend on where you live I'm sure and laws in that area. But from what I read a sergeant said they can't.
I am curious if you say no and they use the K9 does that give them all access even if the K9 gives a false positive.
Interesting stuff either way.
