Police anger as officers are told they CAN'T stop and search suspects who smell of cannabis

Post by The Aspie Toker »

Police officers have been told they can't stop and search suspects just because they smell of cannabis, a watchdog said yesterday.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said that the smell of cannabis on a suspect was not enough by itself to justify a stop and search as they ruled on a case involving an officer stopping cyclist Emmanuel Arthur.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
