If you don't remember the statement you can also tell the police officer in a NICE CIVIL way, not being a dick, that he has the right to search your car for HIS protection only and nothing can be used against you from the discovery made durring his search for his safety. This infor comes frist had from two high ranking police officers.
Are you sure you typed that out correctly? It appears that you are saying that if you give the officer permission to search your car, as long as you specify that it is only for their saftey and that if they do find something they are not allowed to use it against you, then you are covering yourself from legal prosecution. That has to be the dumbest thing i've ever heard!
And i wish the cops that i've been pulled over by were as cordial as those guys. They did nothing wrong and in fact seemed to show more resraint then most.
