(no paywall, I cannot find the article on the main site anyway)
Most of you already know about this but all too often cops claim they smell weed then use it as an excuse to eject everyone from a car and rip the thing apart. Sometimes they even plant a joint to make it stick. Its impossible to prove on the stand whether a cop smelled something or did not. Prosecutors know this, but they do what they can to support police cuz they are all one big team.
Apparently South Carolina is getting tired of this practice. They are working on a law to stop it. I'm fine with giving cops fewer excuses to harass people on the road.
