“The laws on cannabis have changed in such a drastic way as to render the smell of burnt cannabis, standing alone, insufficient to provide probable cause for a police officer to search a vehicle without a warrant,” Justice Scott Neville Jr. wrote.
In a way understandable yet there are no roadside equivalents of a breathalizer to determine impairment by pot, and visual cues like glassy eyes and aural cues like slurred speech are used to justify search. Open alcohol in the car would be a visual cue to arrest the driver for violation of that law so why would a visual cue of pot not be equivalent?

1 gram equals nothing and results in a devastating court decision. Nice job over zealous state trooper, you’re an idiot.
Going 73 in a 70! Did the cop pull him over because he was going too slow?
I was pulled over once in WI, was doing 79 in a 70. All the cops questions pointed to him thinking i was running drugs. Cop must have just watched “The Mule”
