Criminal law is almost always governed on the state level.
Although search and seizure is a constitutional issue, it is usually interpreted by state courts.
It is easy to debate this behind a desk or in a court room, but one thing I've learned over the years is that one of the worst things you can do when confronted by a cop is tell him he can't do something. If you have nothing to hide, your night will go a lot smoother if you just shut up and speak when spoken to. I can almost guarantee that you will loose any constitutional debate on the side of the road at 2am, and there is a real good chance that in his report you will have consented to the search.
