Yep. This is no doubt crossing a major line. And we can see how it was handled by the US supreme court.
Yeah, and this is disturbing:
Quote:
The court contended that officers "deliberately create the exigent circumstances with the bad faith intent to avoid the warrant requirement.
So basically doing anything to avoid or keep cops from being able to search you is grounds for being searched? I guess I should just flat-out stop following the law then.

NORML has a great article on this that I wish I could quote but it would lose it's formatting.
http://blog.norml.org/2011/05/17/supreme-court-eviscerates-4th-amendment-over-marijuana-smell/
Fuck the government for trying to take away our rights.
Quote:
Wikipedia The Bill of Rights is a series of limitations on the power of the United States federal government, protecting the natural rights of liberty and property including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, a free press, free assembly, and free association, as well as the right to keep and bear arms.
Delegates to the Philadelphia Convention on September 12, 1787 debated whether to include a Bill of Rights in the body of the U.S. Constitution, and an agreement to create the Bill of Rights helped to secure ratification of the Constitution itself.[3] Ideological conflict between Federalists and anti-Federalists threatened the final ratification of the new national Constitution. Thus, the Bill addressed the concerns of some of the Constitution's influential opponents, including prominent Founding Fathers, who argued that the Constitution should not be ratified because it failed to protect the fundamental principles of human liberty.
What happened to protecting human liberty? The ability to be free in our lives and actions as long as it doesn't encroach upon another's ability to be free in their life and actions?

Someday they'll quit with the facade, and claim no warrants are needed in Any search, regardless of the circumstances, do to 'inherent terrorist threat in the community' or some lame bullshit. You just wait, it's coming.

Following that will be police state. Curfews will be set (they might as well already in my town, if you're driving past 1am you Will get pulled over about 80% of the time, and you will be interrogated on why you're out so late.)

The worst part is such actions and encroachments are performed over just a long enough period of time for people not to hit the streets or raise up arms. People say the 2nd amendment can't be touched but I not so sure these days.

why is this such a horrible human rights abuse?
marijuana smell isn't a warrant to search the car for marijuana? huh
i would have been surprised if they ruled it the other way. this ruling is pointless anyway, cops would have searched cars they thought had marijuana in them previously. now instead of simply creating this precedent they actually have a court case to base their decisions off of.
i dont see the big deal about this.
direct your energy towards policy reform not of insubstantial court precedents that don't really change anything

If a cop heard a gunshot, and smelled gunpowder, then he could go investigate a shooting, yes?
This is like that, as far as the courts are concerned. Weed laws are dumb, but laws are laws. That's where we need to approach this, change the law at the polls.

It was taken to court. The court made the ruling that these cops are in the right.

trial by jury, it's citizens determining the outcome, it's unfortunate but the majority of people simply dont care about their freedom enough to not fight it and cop a plea

Pris, most non-major marijuana offenses don't have a jury. I.e. some cop busts into your house and all you are doing is ripping a gram through a bong, you'll still get arrested for drugs & paraphernalia, they never bring in a jury for something this small of an offense though, it's not worth their time. Kind of like a DUI charge that hasn't resulted in bodily harm or property damage never has a jury.
