Please Read this caarefully.
The incident report states Mr Z appeared to be speeding and was clocked at 75 mph in a 70 zone. Officer A stated that, "Mr Z was pulled over at *mile marker 688*. Off A said that he smelled marijuana odor coming from inside the vehicle and that Mr Z appeared nervous and that his voice and hands were shaking. Off A had Mr Z exit his vehicle and informed him that he had probable cause to search the vehicle and was it alright? Mr Z said No Off A couldn't search his vehicle. At that time Off A Stated he had Probable cause and didn't need his permisssion and searched the vehicle.
I dont think this was a legal stop or legal search because: 1) There is no mm 688, # go from 686 to 690 in a 2 mile span. 2) Off A's hand written report has comments like: occupation--electrician/Drug Dealer Vehicle Description--2003 Dodge Ram Pickup/El Camino 3) No citation for Speeding Mandatory to be issued or Officer is considered Misconduct in office and can be removed. 4) Mr Z doesn't smoke; The vehicle was searched 2 or three times even with dogs and no Marijuana was found. Mr Z even went and had a urinalysis by a drug testing lab done; results were negative , no trace of THC marijuana. Under these circumstances if they had found something, other than Marijuana how would you defend.
