Same thing with you home if you agree to let the officer perform the search he then has your consent and nothing illegal about it (only exception is if he coerced or threatened the OP to search, I.E. If you don't let me search your car I'll have it towed and you thrown in jail, etc.)
Officers are by all means allowed to ask to inspect/search if you then agree it is your own undoing should they find something that could be held against you in a court of law

good luck with that in West Covina ... The worst place to be pulled over. The judges always listen to the cops over the civilians. I've lost another case there for headlights and the fucking cop said I drove a 1500 Chevy and I clarified that to the judge and he still said didnt matter...
But the whole time ... I said no because I refused for illegal search and seizures. They still took me out of the car and cuffed me...
