I would think that would be the case if mj possession in Ct. is a misdemeanor. Probably just like a traffic ticket where the worse they can do is keep the points and the fine the same as is on the ticket (which is probably the maximum penalty).

If this is the case I really want to try to fight it because I could have swore I made it through it. Now what if you're in it when its yellow because maybe your back end is 1 foot under the light or something, i wonder is that running a red haha? If they raise my fine over some shit like this its not worth risking it but I truly believe there's a good chance I totally made it through. I'm curious what the dash cam will show...
I wonder if it'll help my case at all having the cop blow through the red on video with no lights on just to stay near?

So did he search or not? You said they can search over scent but then you said you gave it all to him so he must not have searched it?
He forcibly entered your car? Or did he say he was going to and you broke and gave him your weed?

I never allowed him to search it, I denied him searching it multiple times and denied the scent of it all along. I have a video recording of everything thats really just the audio because it was in my door facing the door but its all recording. When i was outside the car and he asked me one last time before going in i said no there isnt but when he entered I went over and into the console and grabbed it. He then continued to search it anyways after and found nothing.
A couple of my friends are saying in CT scent isnt good enough reason to search...i know in MA scent isnt reason to search but idk about CT i'm doing more research soon after i finish my homework for school. I think I'm going to fight this long as there's no way for them to increase the amount on the ticket, if he doesn't show up I heard they throw it away. I doubt it's that simple but yeah. There were two cops there, I only smoke to one and the other stood behind my car the whole time and only talked to me briefly while my car was being searched...i wonder if he can speak for the main cop if he decides to not want to go? He was in the car with him the whole time he was writing the ticket and shit and did see me speed through the yellow light, hmm.
When i told the cop first thing it was a yellow light i went through the first thing he replied with was "you didnt slow down through it like you were supposed to". So he basically admitted I went through a yellow and i wonder if i use that against him in court that he will agree he said that. I wonder if that's a big plus too? If the light switches from yellow to red and your car is like one inch under the red for a split second is that considered running a red light? I have failure to comply with TCS or something, i dont wanna know if this will effect my insurance or if this is a very bad violation basically saying i blew a stop sign or something but...ugh i dont know enough and its pissing me off
My b for all the questions and how scattered this post is lol...you dont have to answer them I just want them out there for others to maybe answer if they know something

You might be able to get the evidence dismissed because of an unlawful search but it's hard to tell becuase I don't really know the situation. Why were you out of the car? Why did you decide to get back in and give it to him?

I told him I dont consent to the search and he said "well i tried to be polite and ask but now im telling you you need to get out of the car for the search" again said no this is not a legitimate search scent is not good reason and he said yes it is sir now please get out...this went on a couple times and i finally gave up and went to stand behind my car next to the younger cop watching. I went back in to get the pipe and give it to him because he had already began his search and i figured the hell with it he's gonna find it anyways because i had it in a case with my couple grams in the console anyways so instead of having him tack on another ticket for not complying i figure might as well try to help my cause as its inevitable now.
Should i just white lie in court and like not mention that last part about giving him it when I was already being forcably searched? Im sure it wont help me so might as well leave it out then

Nothing you can do. When I was a teen I got pulled over for expired tags that weren't expired and I happened to of had some drinks that night. I was smoking in the car but the cop just immediately had me get out, never even searched the car and put me straight to a breathalyzer and I got a DUI. Basically the stop was full blown bullshit illegal but nothing I could do because well I did have some drinks. That is why I never drive if I drink because dumb shit like this.

Don't lie in court that will probably just hurt you. No sense in it now but I don't think you had to get out of your car. When they say get out you say "Am I under arrest sir?" If theyre gonna put you in the cuffs yah you gotta get out but a cop saying get out is one of those things like how they ask if they can search your car and just about anything you say can be taken as "yes you may search my car".
There's a great article on erowid all about dealing with cops you should read it.

Shoulda stuck the weed in your butt. Forreal, between the cheeks and squeezed 
I always wear compression shorts under my regular underwear so if im carrying say a small bag of weed, and a bowl i can put them both in the compression shorts and they will stay in place. It worked for me the one time i got pulled over and searched

Didnt cut him off at all, and went theough a yellow light...all totally legal. Maybe he can get me for not slowing down through the light but thats fuckin gay.
If you changed lanes in an intersection it is a traffic violation. Also a yellow light means "clear the intersection" not keep fucking going until it's red.

He said he smelled bud which he probably did since i smoked in it yesterday after work when i got home. I thought he wasnt allowed to search over scent...
How do you think a DUI stop goes? "You smell like alcohol." What do you mean they can't search on scent are you kidding me?

i had a video going the whole time but its just the wall of my car and the audio.
Good for you I hope the 50 mb video helps you out down the road.

I thought we were seriously connecting for a few minutes too...i was telling him how im full time in school almost with my associates working a pretty difficult job 30 hrs a week trying my ass off...ive had a cop not write my friend up anything over weed and just take it but nope wrote me up for -running red light -paraphanelia -under a half oz =$415 fucking dollars
You're an idiot and that isn't even an expensive ticket considering.

What a CROCK of shit. I could have swore in CT and many other states smelling it isnt probable cause. Wtf i even said it was my jacket because my friend.
Probably would have worked until you HANDED HIM DRUGS.

I wish i could somehow fight this because i dead honest did go through a yellow light but theres nothig i can do. Can i fight this or an i dreaming...? Not worth it? Now i have a traffic record for this bullshit? Like really?
He has a dash cam you can fight the light ticket. You wouldn't have the weed ticket if you weren't stupid.
If he had ANYTHING to go on it would have gone like:
"Do you have any marijuana in the car?" to which you say NO "Can I search the vehicle" to which you say NO And he would have gone and gotten a search warrant if he had any ground because you were fucked anyway.

The most important thing: is this going to show up on your criminal record? If the weed is just a fine in your jurisdiction you are gold, just pay it and move on. If this is a crime that's going to show up on your record forever, fucking fight it. In the last 15 years I have had about 8 criminal record background checks for jobs, all those jobs I would not have got if I had a single pot bust on my record. To me that's the most important reason to not get caught, it will ruin your future.

The way he makes it sound like is that the cop began searching his car, at which point he handed him his weed. He said he gave it to him because he thought he'd get an additional charge if he didn't, but the cop was already searching. Does it make any difference in whether the cop finds it or he gives it to him?
@The Moose, there are several states that have passed laws dismissing the smell of weed as probable cause.

Yes. Even if the search is found illegal, that evidence didn't come from the search. That was handed over voluntarily. That evidence won't be suppressed.

Enlil, will future employers be able to see this incident as marijuana if they go to do a background check despite it being decriminalized? Also i sure every cop that wants to pull me over will be able to see it too right again despite being decriminalized? Im more worried about future employers...its not reallly the money im worried about here really its my record. I just need to know these answers so i can send it out monday with my decision.
If i have to put a little time into fighting for my record its probably worth it, if employers cant see this then forget it
