"For Most" does not apply to this POS:

Or, and hear me out here, the car smelled like weed, which makes a breathalyzer result irrelevant for PC to search the car.

At approximately 2 a.m. Wednesday, Smith was pulled over by University Police while driving 51 mph in a 35-mph zone on University Drive. He also was drifting from left to right in his lane, according to the probable cause statement. Smith after failing several physical intoxication tests was arrested and consented to a breathalyzer test, which came back with .066 and .061 readings, according to the probable cause statement. The legal limit in the state of Texas is .08.
While Smith was being tested, another police officer searched Smith's vehicle and found a joint containing marijuana that weighed .029 oz. and a handgun in the center console with a full magazine and a round chambered, according to the police documents.
I'm just highlighting the facts, for the 2 or 3 people who care about them.

that charge more than likely stems from him being intoxicated. Can't possess a firearm while intoxicated even if you otherwise can lawfully carry one

Did I call it? Or did I call it?
For reference for the folks that don't want to go back to see where I called it:

Exactly. If the police want to search the car, they have to have a reason. Administering a field sobriety test and using officer discretion to determine they failed it, gives them the ability to search the car.
Meaning if cops want to search a car, they'll give a field test.
Which is why I want to know the results of the breathalyzer, assuming one was administered. Cops can lie, but BAC doesn't. If he blew under .08, then that tells me the car search was bullshite to begin with.

1. Only $2,000 bond for the DWI charge. That's very low.
no it's not

2. He was pulled over for speeding. Not suspected DWI, not reckless driving. Just speeding. Which means he likely was in pretty good control of his faculties. Which makes me wonder if the officers gave him a sobriety test to try to get a reason to search the car. Will be interested to see what he blew assuming there was a breathalyzer test administered.
This isn't unusual at all and does not provide any context to how drunk/high he may have been

bruh, if he was high and the car smelled like weed, the search of his vehicle was not bullshite. Him speeding gave the officer probable cause to stop him. His car smelling like weed gave the cop probable cause to search the car without a warrant

The search began while he was being tested.
What point are you trying to make, exactly?
PC was for the stop pre-established, all LE needs for a search is reasonable suspicion another crime is being committed.
Your argument is full of holes, you just desperately want to be right.

I think it’s a pretty dumb mistake for a senior that’s supposed to be a leader, no matter what team you play for. If you’re a freshman, maybe you get a pass. No excuses for this behavior from a team captain.

So how can you book a guy for DWI when he blows under the legal limit? Is that just one part of the criteria. Can you still be booked if the arresting officer thinks you failed the eyeball test?

for failing a field sobriety test. People get DUIs for being high too. They'll take his blood and see how many nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood was in his system to determine his sobriety.

I haven't anything from the arrest records that mention officers smelling marijuana.

He was probably stoned af if he still failed the tests.

I imagine that about 1/4 or more of Texans drive around with a loaded pistol. I certainly do, and it is perfectly legal in a vacuum.
That legal activity morphs into something illegal, because there was ONE joint in the vehicle? That may be the law, but it is crazy.

"According to the police report and probable cause statement obtained by the Houston Chronicle, Smith was arrested for DWI after he was stopped for speeding just after 2 a.m. Wednesday. Police then found a "rolled joint of marijuana" and a gun with a "full magazine and a round chambered" during a search of the car," Rittenberg wrote. "Smith and a passenger in the car both denied ownership of the gun or the marijuana, according to the police report and probable cause statement obtained by the Chronicle."

The police submitted a probable cause statement. They either searched the vehicle incident to his arrest or they had probable cause to search the vehicle due to smelling the weed or both. Take your pick.
He was also drifting in and out of his lane, so he wasn't simply speeding as you alluded to earlier.
