Hundreds of pounds of weed seized during Bay Area traffic stop

Stopping a driver for talking on their cellphone resulted in the seizure of nearly 220 pounds of weed in Berkeley on Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The driver was headed west on Interstate 80 at about 5:30 p.m. when officers stopped the Chrysler SUV. During the traffic stop, officers allegedly smelled a strong marijuana odor coming from the SUV.

‘Epstein bomb’ about to drop, 100 GOP members to ‘jail break’ from Trump, Swalwell says “Multiple large black trash bags were observed in plain view in the rear cargo area,” CHP said. “A probable cause search was conducted, leading to the discovery and seizure of approximately 218 pounds of cannabis.”

According to CHP, the driver was illegally transporting cannabis for sale without a license. The driver was arrested for related charges.

“While personal cannabis use and possession are legal in California, strict regulations apply to its commercial cultivation, transportation, and distribution,” CHP said. “Individuals engaged in these activities must possess proper licensing and documentation in compliance with the law.”

The bags of weed were taken to the CHP Oakland Area office and stored as evidence.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I guess one shouldn't do something to make the police pull you over, if you are breaking another law?

The reason the cops let you drive slightly over the speed limit is so that they always have a reason to stop you.

Super Troopers movie had the kid quickly eat a bag of marijuana and a bag of psilocybin mushrooms so when the cops got to the pulled over car there would be no evidence left.

Then the buddies charged the kid for the cost of the dope because he consumed all of it.

This sounds much more interesting. Sounds like Swallowell finally has the goods on Pres. Trump about Russia, or Ukraine or something.

How do they “let you.” Do they control people’s cars?

“That’s why they call it Dope.”
Y’all must have missed some history.
It used to be we built aircraft out of wood and fabric.
Be it a model or a full sized aircraft.
We sealed that fabric with “Dope”
to make the fabric water tolerant.
If you didn’t have good ventilation,
you got pretty messed up.
Very similar to a variety of illegal
drugs.
Hence the adoption of calling drugs Dope.

In Berkeley, doesn’t 220 pounds of weed qualify as one day’s personal use?
