@Stumpknocker,

What is supposed to happen and what does happen are not always the same. If all officers followed proper procedure, we wouldn’t have so much in the media about police misconduct, police brutality, officers lying in court, etc. Just like everything else in this world, there are good and there are bad.

@just saying, I don’t believe your story, for one thing a supervisor most likely a sergeant will not question another deputy or officer in the presence of a civilian, that does not happen. And if I’m fact the deputy, officer did not have a lawful reason to search the supervisor would have immediately cut you loose and denied your permission to search your car, and that’s how it works. The language you stated the deputy, officer used about your Id or driver license is not the language used even by the newest law enforcement officer.

@Stumpknocker,

I was speaking from personal experience. I was pulled over because LEOs thought I was someone else. I tried to tell the officer that he was mistaken and showed him my driver’s license, which he called “a cheap fake” even though it’s a Florida RealID, the ones that supposedly can’t be faked. He TOLD me he was going to search my vehicle because he “noticed a strong smell of marijuana”, which was a lie. I don’t smoke marijuana, and no one has smoked anything in it either. I refused and requested his supervisor. When he arrived, I asked him if he smelled ANYTHING in my vehicle. He responded that he did not and asked the officer why he had stayed that he smelled it. The officer said “because I thought she was so and so and I wanted to search her vehicle!” I told the supervisor he was welcome to search. He found nothing. I received an apology and the officer was written up, so yes, it happens.

Carrying without a license, no no
STEALING the weapon on top of that, even bigger no-no
Weed? Whatever…that’s the least of MY worries on this case, but it is illegal in this state (medically is different of course)

Everyone’s car gets dirty once in a while, plus the license tag was partially obscured, so good on the deputy for pointing that out. I’m glad this ended peacefully as far as the article goes, no yelling, no fighting, and nobody’s dead

Hopefully Mr. Odom will make better choices in life and won’t seal anymore.

@just saying, so should law enforcement ignore the smell of marijuana, and the smell of alcohol on a person, just ignore it and walk away. And when they do would society hold them accountable for allowing some under the influence to drive off and possibly kill someone. I believe and reasonably and prudent person can smell both.

But honestly, if they want to search your vehicle, they ALWAYS say that they smelled marijuana. There’s no way for the smell, or lack thereof, to be disproved.

@bama lol , when your stopped by law enforcement you are under arrest at that time, your ticket if one is given is your bond. The officer can in fact order to driver back in the car. Lock your doors and a k9 will be coming. It’s no different with marijuana than with alcohol, if they smell it that’s the probably cause they need to search your vehicle, first with where the driver was seated, the firearm was found under the driver seat which is against the law without a CCW.

@Bama89-

That was in response to your statement that you would “lock your doors and refuse.” They don’t need your consent to bring in a K9, if you refuse, if they have probable cause and smelling an odor of marijuana is enough for probable cause.

Reading really is fundamental.

@constitution, if I read this correctly you’re saying that it’s okay for him to have a stolen weapon on him? Wrong, if you buy a weapon(or anything else) that is stolen, you are now responsible for being in possession of stolen property. You might want to read up on that. Secondly, the weapon was concealed and he had NO permit to have that weapon under his seat, beside his seat or in the console. Another opportunity for you to do a little reading on the law. Had the young man not been wreaking of marijuana this whole thing might not have happened. Several of my close friends who are deputies and ppd will often let someone off on a small amount of residue or even some weed in a bag. They destroy it on-site and don’t stack the charges. With this guy getting popped with two felonies the LEAST of his problems was a misdemeanor pot charge. Since you’re so well versed in all this maybe you and ol’ Bama can team up as this guys defense. Sounds like a winning team and it’d really be fun to watch!
