   Yes, and "visual check" means what they can see thru the window. If they ask
you to get out, make sure to lock the door when you do. Make them actually go
get the warrant. Never, never, give consent to a search, even if you know there
is nothing for them to find. Cops have been known to plant evidence on people,
there are cops in Calif., FL, and other states on trial for that as we speak.
