...Cop (after having pulled you over): "Mind if I look through your car?"

Note that he didn't say he was going to look through your car he's just asking to do that.

And you being a law abiding citizen say "OK".

But what if your son/daughter had borrowed your car and left a joint in the ashtray?
Your kid wouldn't do that you say? OK, well maybe your child's friend does it instead?

What's the cop going to do next?
