In that case, step out, and lock your door. Probable cause is if something is in plain view. He can claim he smells weed all he wants, but its not illegal to have the smell lingering around. Gothen, sorry but your wrong and thats not probable cause. He has no proof it smells like it. When something is visible, that is UNDENIABLE proof. He can check out anything he sees. If he wants to look in your perfectly visible ashtray because he sees what he believes is a roach, he can. Its not a search when it was completely visible. But smell, thats not very solid proof.

Heh, thanks for the link SPQR, I clicked it awhile and put it in my sig too
