Smoking like a sir.
It seems everyone on this forum has been pulled over mainly in America, in England you get pulled over once in a blue moon and even then they cant just go ahead and search you unless they have grounds and such.

Its never happened to me personally,

Some folks just have terrible luck with the constable.

In America they can't just pull you over and search your car with out a reason like smelling marijuana.
But sometimes you get those few cops that just make up some bullshit to search.

It depends on whether or not the cops actually have anything to do....in cities theres murder and shit so they are usually less on people's dicks about the little things like a joint or whatever, but in the suburbs its the full on fucking donut patrol with not shit to do but bust kids with weed and drink

^ spot on. I live in the suburbs and everyone bounces immediately if a cop rolls up even if there not doing anything wrong because it's almost guarenteed they are going to fuck with you.

I live in the states and haven't been pulled over once. If you wear your seatbelt, use your turn signals, stop at a stop sign, go the speed limit you don't have anything to worry about.
Usually the people that get pulled over are breaking one of these rules, or driving drunk, swerving lanes as they are coming back from a party.

My friend got pulled over. He lets the cop know he doesn't consent a search. (As one has been told to do)
And the cop arrests him for "Breach of Peace". Cops are dirty, and they'll do whatever they can to get a bone from the lieutenant.

And the water will run
They can't search unless they have probable cause I.e. smell of weed, something in plain sight if the cop searches you without probable cause or search warrant then it's an illegal search and the case will be thrown out in court.

Heres my question....probable cause isn't ironclad at all though is it? I say he didn't smell weed, he says he did.....and what of it?

Up to a judge to decide.
Glad here in MAssachusetts the SJC just ruled the smell of weed is no longer a reason for probable, cause meaning that alone can't be see to perform a search.
