If we get pulled over in dallas and car smells like marijuana, can cop do anything?

Question

say if we had a couple joints but we ate them before we pulled over, so the cop wouldn't find anything even if he searched...

Answer 1

If you Teed the cop off he can find enough to mess with you. First of all you are driving impaired. The smell gives enough reasonable suspicion or probable cause to administer field tests. Then there is enough to require a blood test.

It is easier, like I said if you T the cop off, for the cop to find a couple of stray buds or seeds and get you for possession and seize your car.

The distinctive smell and the officer's experience and training is enough for most courts.

Answer 2

Yes.  He can radio for a drug sniffing K-9 to search your car. Even if you ate them (really dumb thing to do), there is probably residue left in the car.  Any search that produces residue can have that person charged with possession of an Unlawful Substance.

Answer 3

Well, if he had a dog, you'd get arrested for drugs.  They would test your blood and you'd be done.

If he were in a controlled burn environment, he could positively identify the aroma of pot and arrest you.

If he hadn't been in a controlled burn, he couldn't clearly and articulately explain the PC of arresting you.

I'd say you're screwed.  Don't drive around in a car after you smoke.

Answer 4

Yes if your car smells like MJ then they can search the vehicle, and if they find anything then you will be charged for it. that means large fines or even jail if they find enough, but if you ate the evidence, and there is nothing left in the car (even a seed is enough in some places) then you are home free. And just lost the time it took for them to search.

Answer 5

he or she could do something about it even if you have got rid of all the evidence

try spraying your car with air freshener that might mask the smell so the cop wouldn't notice

Answer 6

If he pulls you over for speeding no.  But if your driving high and he pulls u over then yes.

Answer 7

Yes. Odor of marijuana=car getting search.  How about leaving your weed at home? Just a thought.

Answer 8

The cops can do a search on your vehicle if they have reason to. For example, if the police see empty bottles in your vehicle and smell alcohol they can suspect that you have driven under the influence, and can subject you to an alcohol test.

The same applies for drugs. If the police suspect of being under the influence they can search your vehicle and test you for substances. If they do catch you under the influence or in possession of narcotics you can be arrested.

Answer 9

You stand  a hue chance of the officer thinking that there is more with in and if was me and long ago I was(when in the service) i would put you through the ringer. As in search until i found a seed or enough to bust you or both you for that matter. Even though you are the driver i would find something to bust the other one also. Even if i had to get you for a tail light and him for the MJ.

Answer 10

i reckon he would ask you to p**p and check it

Answer 11

Don't know about Dallas but no in usual places. Is it illegal to smoke marijuana? Could they prove you had smoked it? If you weren't in possession than probably not.

Answer 12

No. If he smells it they would search the car.

Answer 13

If you get pulled over and they smell it of course they are going to search your car.
