Cell phones are illegal?
I always wonder how many times they’ve used “detecting a strong smell of marijuana” on people who don’t even smoke. I’ll go first: me, in 2012. Clayton PD pulled me on the side of 70, searched my whole car while I sat there with my two dogs on the way to the vet. Shockingly, they found nothing… and didn’t seem to care that they wasted my time or made me late for the appointment. Probably just got lucky with this guy.
on the real…if u doing something illegal why would u be smoking…..thats dumb….and 80 percent of the time the dummy prolly was smoking…..I maneuverd for years and never got stopped…because I wasnt dumb
