If you read the details of this case, it's pretty clear that this was an illegal search to begin with but they feel the need to harass and pat down anyone in their jurisdiction.

The officer's report noted that one passenger threw a marijuana cigarette out of the window and that he observed marijuana residue in the car.The officer also saw a bag containing 2.5 grams of marijuana by the car's emergency brake.

And what extenuating details do you have, good sir? I see an observed traffic violation (right-of-way violation), observation of the crime of littering (the m.j. cig being tossed from the vehicle-which erases any illegal seizure BTW, IIRC), and possession of a controlled substance (mary sitting in plain view-no illegal search)...valid traffic stop was valid.

For the record I think mary SHOULD be legal. Until the kid moves to Colorado, however, he probably needs to lay off the green...
