Remember, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Utah State Constitution protect people from unreasonable searches and seizures. You do have the right to say no if a police officer asks for permission to search your car. If a search is conducted without consent, a warrant or probable cause, then any evidence found by the officer during that search can be suppressed.
