I was in a similar situation as well a few days ago, but it was only 4 grams: 2 G.D.P. and 2 Bubba Kush. Even though I told them that I am a registered patient and that I did have my meds in my car, they still put me in the back of their squad car and searched my vehicle without asking permission. I give them a small, wallet-sized copy of my doctor's recommendation so that they may verify it and one of them tells me that it isn't valid within Riverside County. :wtf: I'm guessing these guys were either rookies or just didn't know anything about the medical marijuana laws since they had a third officer show up a few minutes later, had a brief conversation with him and then he just left...
They didn't even state the reason for pulling me over; they just handed me a notice to appear in court for a traffic violation (no traffic violation stated, just possession of marijuana) and let me go about my business. It somewhat feels like a case of unjustified narcotics profiling to me. Any advice?
