this much is true... but i doubt like if you got stopped for speeding they're going to arrest you if the car smells like weed just to find drugs... oh yea and intresting factoid... if you really wanna piss a cop off.. you can request to have a state trooper present durring any searching... wouldn't really help much but it would really aggervate the cop to have to wait for a state trooper to show up before they could begin searching.. i'd especially reccomend this to someone who got stopped for speeding and is in no way intoxicated or having anything illegal on them or their car...
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
