“Well, marijuana is what they use to search the car. The smell, because that’s the only one that smells can’t smell meth or anything. So… the odor of marijuana is a huge reason that officers, write on the probable cause, that they search your car. They stop… oh, soon as I come up, they’ll stop you… ‘Oh, your tints look dark’. They really want to search the car.
