actually, a cop can't search your car even if it smells like weed unless you give permission... i mean they can, but there's a lot of red tape they have to go through first.... depending on state they'd either have to call HQ to get permission or some other place and get a warrant too... they can't just stop you say it smells like weed and then say "out of the car i'm searching" you have to give consent first..
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . Could a cop search you if... I was just thinking about this. I am usually a pretty safe smoker. That is, I don't take much risk in getting caught. I know that if you are pulled over in a car for another offense (although you don't need much) and the cop smells weed, then he can legally search the car. But what about just walking around in public. Could a cop pat you down if he smells something on you? I know the likely hood of this happening is quite low (im not paranoid) but I do live in a big city and would like to know. Rating: 5
