So I went looking for some examples, link to a discussion on a law blog site I like : http://www.volokh.com/2012/02/02/jones-the-automobile-except...

Within the original part of the post are two cases which seem to indicate cars receive less protection because they are less private than homes.

Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132, 153 (1925) and California v. Carney, 471 U.S. 386 (1985)

Still in this case, who is inspecting the cars, the valet? What qualifications does he have? If it is the valet, do they become an agent of the state while doing the search? I am still concerned about liability, whether from theft of items in the car to the valet being injured by something in the car.
