Here's something I'm not 100% on. I understand that if I get pulled over and there's pot in the trunk, so long as I'm clear eyed, the car doesn't smell and you talk politely and choose to not to consent to a warrantless search, then the police cannot search your car.

But I constantly see threads in which people mention that whenever they have decided to not consent, dogs were called.

Isn't that still a warrantless search? And if so, whatever they DO find, so long as you specifically delineated that you refuse to consent to a warrantless search, cannot be held against you in court.

Am I right, or is there something I'm missing here?
