Wow. You just went from private property to public property. So it's OKAY for a cop to catch you breaking the law on private property but not on public property? It's that backwards from the 4th amendment? There is a world of difference between someone doing something illegal in plain view (such as growing pot in their front yard) and someone driving along apparently following the law.

The man in the news story was not obeying the law and had pot odor emitting from his vehicle. Whether it's a visual or an odor, it's probable cause. That's relative to the situation.
