And the above case, no1 is being pulled over with with 3 lbs of weed and shrooms to boot, and getting off, because he was transporting it across state lines more than likely, which makes it a Felony and a crime has already been committed, So cops have total authority to search your car.
You obviously know jack-shit about Criminal Justice. Go take a few classes, read a few books, and come back and talk. In the above case, it did happen, and yes it WOULD have been a felony. Unfortunately, the cops in the above situation did an ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SEIZURE. As in, they did not have a warrant, they did not smell an odor, and they did it on mere suspicion, which no US law figure can do besides CUSTOMS AGENTS. I'm sorry Tholiak, but I guessed as to an illegal search and seizure as his article made no mention of the cops smelling anything. And not all cops can/will call out the K-9 units on mere suspicion, as it can be costly.
p.s. - look up some shit on illegal search and seizure and "fruit of the poisonous tree", tholiak. jackass.
