In many cases it’s really not. It’s about probable cause for searching your car. Claiming to smell weed is one of the classic, all purpose skeleton keys used for bypassing the 4th amendment requirement for a warrant. And in many jurisdictions such searches are used primarily for asset forfeiture of cash to line the pockets of the police department rather than actually looking for and prosecuting drug trafficking.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the whole probably cause angle is abused by law enforcement. We have documented instances, we know it gets applied to minorities more frequently.

On the other hand without tools to take intoxicated people off the road, we’re asking highway patrol to accomplish an impossible task. Keep us safe, but don’t violate our rights, and no we won’t provide any tools to do field sobriety tests on cannabis users.

Claiming to smell weed isn’t a field sobriety test.
