“In this incident report, Sergeant Dove observed that Nguyen seemed “nervous”, was “argumentative”, and that the car smelled of marijuana. No drugs were found during the stop.”
Uh huh. /spit
“car smelled of marijuana”
The smell triggers the search.
We only have the word of the cop that the car smelled of marijuana, but we do know no drugs were found. I expect the driver would be argumentative when the cop decided to take his money. I certainly wouldn’t have said, “Sure, take all my money and have a good day.”
