This is something I've actually thought about and perhaps someone here can shed some light on it for me.

btw..... this is PURELY hypothetical.

If I was pulled over for some traffic violation in one of my non-Viper cars, and the officer asked to search my car, I would politely say "no". Not that I have anything to hide, it's just out of principle. Now on the Viper I would be concerned that they would bring in the drug sniffing dogs because I'm afraid they would scratch the paint as they sniffed around. I don't know how aggressive those dogs get. Anyway, my big qestion is.............

If their dog scratched my paint would they be liable for the damage?
