Consent to letting a cop search your car.
He cannot search your car unless you give him permission to do so or he obtains a warrant. I was scared shitless out of my mind once because I was riding with a group of friends in MY car even though a friend was driving and we got pulled over for expired tags. A friend of mine had shrooms in the back (definitely not mine but I could have been pinned for it since it's my car). The cop goes, "Okay, well, I'm going to have to do a search of the car because of suspicious activity." And my friend driving goes, "Okay" and I literally put my hand over his face and say, "I'm sorry officer, but this is my vehicle and I do not consent to a search without the presentation of a warrant." I thought I was going to throw up over everywhere I was so nervous but he just made a snide remark of, "If I really wanted to, I could have your car searched, but my shift is almost over," then wrote me a citation for the tags and let us go.

^^ Good site for such talk.
I hate it when people don't know their rights and they get busted. It sucks so bad.
