Well to be fair (or, unfair) minded, the cops can find just about any kind of suspicion anyway. “I smelled marijuana” will work, especially in California because you can’t seem to go anywhere without smelling it. I was at a hospital the other day, parking lot of the hospital reeked of reefer.
I was a Health Care student...
We did "rounds" at local Hospitals.
Went to this County Hosp...they were doing Pentanamine Tx's inhaled on AIDS patients....
I just stood there and watched....they had pot laying on the counter tops....
Yes, but in California, marijuana is legal, so just smelling it is not sufficient to provide reasonable suspicion of a crime.
