FMJ, it's not an analogy at all.
The officer illegally entered and viewed the inside of the vehicle. That's a search. The officer (assuming there isn't something we don't know about here) illegally opened and viewed the inside of the trunk. The officer illegally opened and viewed the inside of the gun. Short of laws specifically granting the officer the authority to disarm the guy, illegally uncovered and viewed the inside of the guy's holster. The officer ran the numbers on the gun. All of these things are illegal searches.
So quit with the crap about him not breaking any laws, because he very clearly did break laws.
