If, however, you sign a waiver saying they can search at will, you are at their mercy. This is similar to joining a homeowners association. If the association says you cannot build a fence, and everything else, including the local town ordinance, says building fences are just dandy, you CANNOT build one.
Here's another one: the govt says you can put up a HAM radio antenna in your yard. The village/town you live in say you can, but your HOMEOWNERS association does not allow them. Guess what? You cannot put one in or they will sue you and win. But wait, you say, the govt says these antennas are legal. Your rights ended when you voluntarily agreed to the terms and conditions of the association. You cannot join in and then cry foul later.
Once again, supporting the thread of get thee to a lawyer.
