Is it legal for the police to conduct a vehicle search?

Without permission the police will need probable cause. Just because they didn't cite you any doesn't mean they didn't have any, it just means that they didn't tell you what it was. Eventually they will have to in order to make any charge hold up in court. If any incriminating evidence was recovered as a result of the search, it could be open to challenge via a suppression motion. Have an experienced criminal attorney review the police report in order to give you the best options on how to proceed.

My husband agreed to a plea for possession of a firearm in a federal case and agreed to serve a 5 year sentence. Will the full 5 years have to be served in prison or can he be eligible for parole or house arrest at a earlier time? He has no previous record.

Parole was abolished many years ago for all offenses committed after November 1, 1987, when the federal sentencing guidelines came into effect. It was replaced with supervised release, which is similar, but not quite the same. The amount of good time awarded to federal inmates is set at 54 days a year, and applies to sentences of longer than 12 months. On a five year sentence, after the inmate has served 12 months, 54 days is deducted. The same happens after the next 12 months, and so on. This means inmates generally serve 85% of their sentences. Inmates can receive up to a year off their sentence if they complete a residential drug treatment program while in prison; however, placement is not guaranteed. In addition, it's possible that the final months may be served in a halfway house. Until the passage of the Second Chance Act, the maximum halfway house sentence was the 6 months or 10% of the sentence, whichever was less. Now, it's up to 12 months. In addition, offenders may be allowed to serve the final few months of their halfway house time in home confinement.

If I never received my subpoena therefore missed court, will I get a bench warrant?

Are you the victim? If so, did the court continue your subpoena on the record (basically tell you in open court that you had to return at the next court date?)? If so, usually they will not issue a warrant, but can. If you are charged with a crime, you must appear at all court dates. If you missed, there is definitely a warrant. You need to clear that up as soon as possible.
