Here's the thing...they can ASK you to open your trunk, and if you willingly do it, then they don't need a warrant. If they ask you, and you refuse, (if they want to pursue it further) they hold you and get a warrant (which they can now get, because by refusing, you've given them reasonable suspicion), and then search your trunk. So, basically, if they want to search your trunk, they're going to search your trunk, and if they have to go get a warrant, they're not going to be very nice about it, so you're better off just cooperating, no matter what's in there.
