It’s almost a certainty that his license and license plates are from Indiana. At that point, they can very quickly and efficiently rape his privacy by getting cell phone records and tower “pings” and credit/debit card usage to show that he pretty much drove straight from Indiana to Michigan with those cans, then it’s a question of what the jury believes.
Oops, Brighton is in Michigan. So the round trip begins and ends in Michigan not Indiana. They pulled him over on “erratic driving” so they didn’t need to see an Indiana plate for that. The rest of the police “work” would be the same.
