Can police search your car when I'm not there?

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.


If permission given to search car by someone other then car owner is it illegal search?

If the person giving permission to search the car is not the owner or authorized to give consent, then the search could be considered illegal and any evidence obtained may not be admissible in court. It is important for law enforcement to obtain consent from the legal owner of the vehicle or have a valid search warrant to conduct a search.


Can a cop search a parked car without the owner present and no warrant?

In order to search a vehicle, the police need consent, a warrant, or probable cause.If the police do not have any of those three, they cannot search the vehicle. If they do it anyway, anything found in the vehicle can be excluded from a criminal prosecution as illegally obtained evidence.Another View: No situation involving law enforcemnt activity can be answered with a generalized response. Every situation stands on its own. It may be lawful. Like many things concerning 'the law,' it depends on the situation existing at the time of the search.
