I don't know about doing a global search of vehicles. I would really be surprised if that held up in Court. I have heard of sobriety check points, but that isn't even a search of the vehicle.

If an instance like yours were legal, what would stop law enforcement from setting up these road blocks everywhere and searching every vehicle that came through. What would stop states from setting up road blocks at every major interstate that came into the state and searching every vehicle that comes through. That would be a great way to keep drugs out of the state and a great way to generate revenue from all the citations that would be issued.

I think I would have really taken exception to that search.

Now, with game animals in view, that is an entirely different story. I guess seeing a game animal on top of a vehicle allows them to stop you and check to see if you are legal. However, without probable cause, I seriously doubt law enforcement can do this kind of stuff.
