here's my story/cenario/question....
About two years ago, 2 carloads of me and my boys got rolled on by some cops in an empty parking lot (i know, dumb idea). Anyway, the cop didn't SEE anything, but he smelled the weed. He sat all seven of us down on the curb and asked who'd been smoking the weed. Since none of us answered, he said fuckit and told us he'd search both of the cars.
at this point, i told him that i would like to excercize my 4th ammendment right, and not allow him to search my vehicle. At this point, the cop told me to shut up, and that smelling weed gave him permission to search our cars. The other cop TOLD me that "didn't know shit about constitutional law" and asked me to "recite the 4th ammendment." I did a pretty decent job of reciting it, which pissed both of them off even more, and they ended up charging me for some weed crumbs on the center console that got spilled during the blunt-rolling process. Anyway, is JUST smelling weed enough to count as probable cause???
SIDENOTE: when the cops pulled up, i ripped out my cupholder, threw my scale and baggies in there, and put it back....they never pulled out the cupholder. When the cops were leaving he said, "by the way, i found a ton of little empty weed baggies in your car. If you're gonna smoke, you might as well buy in bulk to save some money." dumb muthafucker had no idea, i DID buy in bulk...hahahaha.
FUCK THE PIGS!!!!!!!!!
