Anybody hear this? Saw on another bb that Hyams said all 4 players tested negative. Someone posted about the legality of the search since it was reported police smelled mj smoke.

Interesting...

The whole " I think I smell MJ" is a way for cops to search who they want. What's gonna happen, r they gonna prove in court that the cop didn't "smell" MJ? Its a way for Police Officers to abuse their rights to search. Welcome to the Police State 2010. (It happens every day to young black people driving, all accross our country. Although more prevalent in the southeast)

Edit: this is not to say they weren't smoking prior to being pulled over, likely they were. But the misuse of probable cause in 1000's of cases (1 involving myself)is a loophole, any good lawyer/DA will tell you that.

Think about it weed and cig's have a distinct smell to them. Anyone who knows someone that smokes will tell u the first time u walk up to the person or whatever u normally get the cig smell. Pot is the same way. That gives them probable cause to search the vehicle. The opened container didn't help either.

And I believe ur completely out of line to play the race card. We all know pot just like cig's have a distinct smell. I think the officer was 100% correct n how he handled the situation.

Can I nominate this statement for dumbest of the year.

I have been a police officer for 15 yrs. I have arrested black, white, asian, hispanic, russian, floridian, and bamaians. last two usually two times a year. However the first two in the list i would say 5 to 1 they are usually white and I am a white person. Stop the stupid racist stuff and accept that ignorance knows no color

And view my edit. I wasn't trying to say that was necessarily what happened in this particular case, but rather addressing the fact that this DOES go on, more so than anyone wants to admit. To say it doesn't is (IMO) a bit naïve.

Good that you profess to use no profiling while you work(although I'd beg to differ, but for the sake of argument well say you never have) Do you really believe that this doesn't happen?? 15 years and you haven't seen this happen? Cmon now buddy?

I had 1 felony and 3 misdemeanors thrown out in Tuscaloosa Al due to being profiled prior to the traffic stop. So yes, it happens. The same way a white kid driving a black kid around in the hood "looks" suspicious.But yall are right, we live in a perfect world and 99% of people go against their human nature to stereotype and profile. Silly me!

So I guess the NBA is profiling since the latest reports show that there is over 80% African American players compared to almost 10% white and 9% foreign players in the league????

Orangekush.... I have 1 question for you. Does pot have a distinct smell to it?

Also, I think ur forgetting that they were in fact speeding. But I suppose the police officer had enough time to recognize that it was 4 black males.....

Yes it does. View my post. I said they likely were smoking. And yes they were pulled over for speeding. Does that mean that Officer X didn't see four tatted up "thugs" and decide he wanted to know what was inside they're car? No, does It mean he did? Also no, see my post. BUT THIS GOES ON, and its wrong...I was in line at an airport security line, awaiting check(post 9/11) when a white woman was asked to step to the side to be better checked, she made a scene screaming that this wasn't fair and she didn't "LOOK like a terrorist" I couldn't help but think, what does a terrorists LOOK like? Last time I checked they look like someone with a bomb,ect. She was clearly saying that bc she wasn't of middle-eastern desent that she couldn't possibly be a terrorists. Car salesman routinely (to their dismay often) size up the "ups" that pull onto their lot. -big suv=money , old clunker=bad credit. Waiters and waitresses choose table (when possible) that look to be good tippers, ie (not blacl people/rednecks). I can go on and on with proffessions and examples. Yall must live in one hell of a community-any houses still for sale in the Garden of Eden? THaAAAANKS

Pot has a very distinctive smell and smells nothing like a cigarette or a cigar, although some people probably try to mask the odor of it by smoking cigs and cigars with it.

A friend of mine and I were detained once when we were going to play basketball at night by a cop who swore he smelled pot. He was full of you know what. We weren't being suspicious or doing anything illegal, he was just trying to find something. He called for backup, they searched us and our vehicle and then apologized for taking our time. He then tried to play it off like everything was cool, but we were pretty pissed and it was clear that he didn't smell pot since neither one of us smoked it and weren't anywhere near a place that did.
