"no, i dont have the key" or "no, i dont want to" they cant force you to. and same thing with the mail. They can try to tell you that you need to open it.. but legally if you say no they cant make you.
All they gotta do is pull u out of the car and fail u on the sobriety test. Driving under the influence is illegal. Once they impound your car after they arrest you....they search everything to document what you have in it so that you can't say they stole something....to include your glove box, not to mention probable cause to search...like "hey, smells like weed in here" or "we got a call about shots fired in the area and u fit the description, as a matter of public safety I am going to search your car for a weapon....glove box...marijuana falls under the "plain sight" doctrine and your hit. If they want u they will get u. Easier for u to just stay home
