Law enforcement can perform a warrantless search of a vehicle, but it requires probable cause. It looks like Wardens need reasonable, articulable suspicion to stop a vehicle, but require probable cause (a greater standard) to engage in a full search unless consent is given. I've provided a good link to the motor vehicle exception.
