You can believe all you want to that it's a search but the courts have said no such thing. Trust me, if it constituted an illegal search you would have 4th Amendment violations every second of every day across the United States.
My father was a Deputy Sheriff, later a Federal LEO, my brother was a Federal LEO, my sister is currently a high ranking LEO in the DFW area and I work in conjunction with Federal LEO's.
I really don't care to expand my exposure beyond that.
I'm afraid that many LEO's have forgotten that they are Peace Officers.
