wacha nicheke kwanza…is this scripted?
Guilty of DWB,driving while black
Routine traffic stop. Notice the driver does not answer when asked if it smells of weed. So cop is not “ phishing” per se. He has reasonable cause to search.
A smell isn’t probable cause. I could fart and he’d say it smells like weed so he can search my car.
A wish people can know more about there rights. If a cop goes as far to pull you out of the car then one needs to be aware that they have a right not to answer any questions. Let the officers search the vehicle without speaking and when they’re done ask for a sergeant to be called. And directly talk to him…
A smell is probable cause. If a policeman pulls you over and smells alcohol on your breath, he has the right to move to the next step.
Even before that he’d be able to see signs of drunkenness like slurred speech, irregular driving
etc. before he smells that alcohol on your breath.
Then he’d have to issue a field sobriety test to ascertain I’m drunk.
And you can still drink below legal limits and still drive.
He is not required to issue a field sobriety test.
