There is a notice at the " entrance that says that you agree that your vehicle can be searched at " any time. Do you have any question in your mind that the courts do " not consider that a binding contract? Is it any different from a " shrink-wrap agreement? Yes, I do have some question in my mind about that. I would guess that the sign without the "you agree" part would have as much force, or that the sign is not necessary at all for a search to take place without being disputed by a court. So, it's probably the same as a shrink-wrap agreement in having no legal force. (From the fact that I'm willing to offer an opinion about this, you can probably deduce that I'm not a lawyer ...)
