    They’d only be doing it when they have a big suspicion of something, at least you’d hope.

    Nope. They often do it entirely randomly. I’ve seen videos of them pulling over multiple vehicles to be searched simultaneously at a crossing before.

      Oh I was more talking about the mobile phone checking then just a physical search of a car. Random car searches make sense as a deterrent.
