Pot is a material object. You can see it. The car is a material object and you can see that too. There is no magical invisible place inside the car. This includes the console, ashtray and under the driver??s or passenger??s seat. Once the probable cause is there, the cops are going to check further. Probable cause includes the piles of smoke that exit the window when you roll it down after being pulled over. I can tell you that in a given week, we probably have two dozen arrests in cars and apartments on small misdemeanor cases of marijuana possession because it was there to be seen.
The entire time I read this, the introduction scene from the Broken Lizard movie Super Troopers kept replaying itself in my head... :wtf: This is the scene in question, trust me, it's worth 10 minutes
