When you want to violate the Constitution, literally any smell is the "odor of marijuana."

In every single case of an arrest for guns or drugs, the Probable Cause is "the "odor of marijuana." from the car.
Doesn't matter if they were arrested for meth and no pot was found, or if they were stopped for speeding, etc.
once people are stopped, a search is made based on the "odor of marijuana".

Meth is the most common drug charge here now, has been for a couple years.
