Was waiting for someone to post this up. Saw it on B/R. How many players are going to be caught with weed? Seems like its gets more and more each year.

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.

this would be a problem even with pot legal but they really need to get pot use out of the CBA. Its a sham that dwash is out for a year but ray rice got a 1 game suspension.

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 - they had 20 grams on them so I dont think its far fetched that they could smell the pot. Not everything is racist white cops pulling black people over for no reason.

I find this so funny. I can't stand the Steelers. Hope both get 4 games suspensions. Hope the Steelers lose all 4 of those games.

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.

No. It's just people doing stupid things and looking like it making excuses. That's all it is.

So pot possession and DUI should put Bell's suspension somewhere between domestic violence (Ray Rice 2 games) and vehicular manslaughter/DUI manslaughter (Donte Stallworth 16 games).

I would peg 6 games as the over/under for the suspension since I haven't heard of Bell getting in trouble before.

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?

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.

Wow. Was going to go after Bell early in my fantasy draft tomorrow. Now he drops on my draft board.

Sucks for the Steelers. They could lose their best two RBs for a quarter of a season just like that. Such stupidity!

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.

So 60% of the time a cop pulls someone over they did it for a racist/biased/profiling reason vs having a real cause.

gotcha.

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.

Agreed. Also the fact the were cruising around at 1:30 in the morning the night before a football game doesn't look so good in my opinion. I can't imagine Tomlin being to happy about that either.
