Spoke to attorney for Cam Robinson & Hootie Jones & he indicated DA declined to prosecute b/c initial arrest stemmed from "improper" search.

Illegal search and seizure.

Police report said officer smelled weed and saw gun on Hooties lap... Which gives PD cause to search.

If it was improper search then it would say improper search not insufficient evidence.

This is the same police that conducted the illegal search and seizure. Their credibility is shot.

Just more evidence of Louisiana protecting its own. DA didn't want to ruin the lives of the idiot police officers by calling out their illegal search, because they work outside sometimes too.
