Yes. It is allowed. You gave him consent to search by not knowing your rights and letting him proceed and even unrolling the window for him. He searched the visible spaces within the car, which is his job. Yes, it's allowed. It would even have been allowed if he'd taken the car apart, since you didn't know how or why to stop him, but patrol officers rarely go out of their way to take cars apart.

Start with your homework from my earlier post. Start now.
