RE: Precedent Set: State Supreme Court Rules Police Can’t Arrest Students for Using Medical Pot on Campus
The problem is that when we legalized weed here is MA is that they made it more illegal, it used to be a civil fine of $100 for possession of cannabis in your car, and because it was not a crime they could not search based on the smell of cannabis. Now that it is "legal" they made possession in your car the same as an open container of alcohol so now it is a crime again and they can search your car based on claiming to smell a smell. That said clearly AZ needs to update their laws. I was watching "Live PD" a while ago and it was pretty funny when a couple of black guys got pulled over with guns and a huge jar of blunts in AZ and the cop was ready to arrest them when they pulled out their CCW and MMJ cards and then he gave them back their guns and drugs and sent them on their way. Really legalizing drugs and doing away with our racist gun restrictions would fix 99% of the things that people complain about in terms of policing or inequity.
