"Probable Cause" (PC) is something they must be able to articulate in court to justify the stop and subsequent actions.
I recognize that some parks might have different levels of PC, maybe even stating that you ARE subject to random search and by visiting the park, you are therefore agreeing to those terms.
If a cop randomly asks, "Mind if I search your vehicle?" he is admitting that he has no Probably Cause, which is why he's asking in the first place.
I'd simply respond, "Am I free to go?"
