Driving is a priviledge, you have no right to drive. 

Second, you don't "own" your car, you have a license to operate the vehicle on public roads.

The 4th amendment doesn't apply to cars, per the Supreme Court.

The greater good of society is more important the the slight chance that someone might be raped 
or suffer because of an inability to get to the ER.
