Marijuana and DUI
According to Ross Township Police, it all started around 1:30 p.m. along busy McKnight Road when a motorcycle officer who was stopped at a red light smelled marijuana coming from a black Camaro.
Is that what motorcycle cops are for? LOL.
Nah. Probably just DWB in a nice neighborhood. I'm sure I'm not telling anybody anything they didn't already know, but the whole smelling of the marijuana thing is just the standard blanket excuse cops have learned to use for probable cause. It's the perfect excuse because it's totally subjective. There's no measurement required. As long as they state on the police report that they smelled what in their opinion smelled like marijuana, they're covered against illegal search and seizure. It continues to work because it's not like they're searching carloads of nuns. And once they find the weed, whether they really smelled it or not becomes a moot point.
What I heard was they were smoking with the windows down
Not everything is racist white cops pulling black people over for no reason.
According to what, the police report?
I don't if that makes them racist, or even white for that matter. Just playing the odds based on what has worked in the past. I'm sure there's a long list of other DW_'s that are payoffs. Like DW16. I got pulled over for no reason all the time when I was 16. Or there's DWAB - Driving While Alec Baldwin. That guy can't ride a bike without getting arrested.
Kind of presumptuous to think they were pulled over for being black at this point, no? If an officer can smell the weed coming from your car, isn't it their job to pull you over?

Pot has a very distinctive smell. I'm sure desertdawg could smell it from a mile away. It would be like a great white shark smelling blood in the water. If desertdawg was within a block of this camero he would probably have ran it down, mooched a hit and stolen the bag of Cheetos in the back of Bells car.

Who's presuming anything? I did begin my original statement with 'Probably'. Again, it's just looking at odds. Based on my past experience with these matters, I would put it at about 60/40. 60% DWB and the standard "I smelled marijuana eminating from the" - and 40% whatever the cop said in his report. Your numbers might vary.
It must really suck to have a vice that is so bad... That you say to yourself "Weed is so great, I'm gonna risk 100's of thousands (if not millions) of $$.. So I can get high".
Unreal.
