With news of Speedy Noil getting arrested for pot possession, how do these people get caught?

I can see a dealer getting arrested, but I know so many people who smoke it and none of them have had any trouble with the law.

Weed is all over LSU's campus and the surrounding area, yet I don't know anyone who has been arrested for it.

Getting pulled over for something unrelated and the cop can smell weed in the car.

If you get pulled over for a traffic violation and the officer has reason to suspect that you are in possession of narcotics.

Scoff all you want, but perhaps profiling has something to do with this.

1. Have weed in car.
2. Get pulled over.

He should have went to Alabama. He could have gotten caught with weed and an unlicensed gun and been good to go.

It isn't as simple as that.

You don't know Tyrann Mathieu or Jordan Jefferson?

You're right. You pretty much have to be smoking while you get pulled over and then refuse to put it out while being questioned. The police today don't want to arrest someone for simple possession.

Having weed on you when doing anything else you could get caught for

Such as: DUI, MIP, getting in a fight, etc

Encountering a dickhead cop or just acting like a complete idiot or a-hole toward him is the easiest way

I've been pulled over multiple times with weed in the car without getting caught. Once I put a J out on my tongue and threw it on the floor board then talked with the cop for about 10 minutes. Another time I had a half smoked blunt in my cup holder. It was night and the cop got in my truck and looked around with his flashlight. I have several more not as interesting stories. Bottom line is I'm clean cut, well spoken, polite, and white.

I've been arrested twice for possession

First time, I was a long haired hippie and a cop pulled me over and smelled it

Second time, I fell asleep eating a burrito in my car
Cops came to wake me up, thinking I OD'd on heroin... when I woke up, I kicked a nug from under my seat into view

I knew several when I was at LSU. Mainly people that got pulled over it with it in the car. Others being dumb at concerts.

I knew a few dudes that had their dealer over at the cottages and get so happens that the landlord's handyman had come by and saw a bong +plus other shite. He called the landlord and the landlord called the cops. Cops kicked the door down. the dude had a shite load of pills on him.

Ever notice that every time someone gets busted for something totally fricking stupid...they always have weed on them? It's no coincidence.

Bring the down votes you bunch of stoners.

Not if you're smart and put it in a container and you never put it in the glovebox. Unless you don't keep insurance/registration in there.

Because cops literally use the phrase "I smelled weed" to justify literally anything. And when you use that phrase to justify unlawful searches, you have to arrest for it when you find the smallest amount.

Legal weed would fundamentally change how cops in Louisiana conduct their day to day business.
