Don't confuse him with things like "reasonable suspicion", "probable cause" and "beyond a reasonable doubt".  Heaven forbid someone throws out "preponderance of evidence"

Yeah, but in CA it would be highly unlikely to have gone anywhere near that far unless the kid was being a real cunt.

So... (allegedly) cop pulls kid over, says he smells pot and wants to search the car, and has it  towed when the guy says no.



Then later gets a warrant for it.  






The American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont filed the lawsuit on behalf Gregory Zullo, 21, whose car was seized by Vermont State Police after a traffic stop in March that left Zullo by the side of the road in 20-degree weather.



...........



Hatch told Zullo that he should give consent to search the vehicle because Hatch’s police dog "smelled something,” despite the fact the dog was not trained in drug detection and was kept in the trooper’s vehicle with the windows rolled up, the lawsuit alleges.



Again, Zullo refused to waive his rights, and Hatch told Zullo he was seizing his car.



Hatch’s cruiser’s audio and video system recorded a telephone conversation — the complaint doesn’t specify with whom — in which Hatch said, "I can smell weed and he won’t allow me to search, so I’m just going to take it.”



...........



Police left Zullo on the side of the road, 8 miles from home, with his hooded sweatshirt to keep warm. According to the National Weather Service, on March 6 temperatures reached a high of 21 degrees.



Back at the Rutland state police barracks, Hatch received a search warrant based upon his assertion he could smell burnt marijuana in the car, and that the car contained an air freshener and a bottle of Visine eye drops, records state.



The search turned up a pipe and a grinder — used to break up marijuana — but no marijuana, the complaint states.





Article




Was the pipe and grinder his.   If so, good search.  If not...



Whether a search is good or not depends on whether it ends well?  That would mean we wouldn't even need parallel reconstruction.  Just secretly spy and then search illegally but when you find something VOILA!  Good search!



Vermont decriminalized weed.  So it's not even evidence of a crime.
If true about Vermont. Then no actual crime or evidence of a crime was found... Isn't that grand theft by the officer?  I say the kid presses charges along with the suit.

They found a grinder and pipe and he'd been pinched once for misdemeanor personal possession of MJ (dismissed) so I'm sure some will ignore the violation of rights.

But if you read the whole thing, morally and legally that cop deserves charges as does the supervisor he seemed to be getting permission from over the phone.

Disgusting.

Then your reading comprehension fails twice. The cop claimed that an UNTRAINED dog inside his cruiser WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP smelled weed. It doesn't matter what he might have found. Innocent until proven guilty apparently is lost on you.

Riddle me this: If possession of marijuana is not a crime in VT, then how did he get a search warrant to search for something that is not a crime?



Remember, we're not talking about some random cop doing a search on some random hunch. He had a search warrant signed by a judge based on evidence of a crime.

No, he had unfounded suspicion on a lie that a dog in a car 30ft behind the vehicle with the windows rolled up the entire Time. I guaruntee that he didn't mention that to the judge.

Out of curiosity, are the details recorded (ie..a court reporter or tape recording) when asking for a warrant?

I'm guessing that could be crucial to a civil action if an officer lies about the reasons for wanting a warrant...say a no-knock that went bad.

Yes, but likely true.  If he was white his vehicle wouldn't have got towed.  I have been pulled over many times in drug corridors for having a SUV or pick up with temporary or out of state plates.  Been put in a patrol car with a "drug dog" in the back seat.  Never had my vehicle searched or towed, though I have been questioned about what was in duffle type bags in the back.

At least you're wise enough to backpedal.  The comment wasn't written in anything nearing a facetious tone.  In fact, it was after you tried to shame everyone criticizing the stop by saying he couldn't have known the guy wasn't committing a crime, as if that's where the burden of proof lies.  Let's revisit your whole statement, in case you haven't seen it quoted recently by the other horrified posters responding to it:

"I mean, I agree he wasn't a real nice guy and all, but I mean, that's a mistake anyone could make, amirite? He could have found heroin!"

The "those who can (look objectively) become cops" statement was concluded from the "same people" who say "he only had a toy gun". Not only was your comment not written facetiously, but it was written to restate a full paragraph of justifying.

While you could say that anytime anything is found, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Police have been caught on video planting drugs as evidence before.

Sorry, but when you take the social safety network away from supporting people who use drugs and force them to become useful members of society the I will agree with you.    Don't give the LEO, PC (smell of pot) for a search and be on your way.    Stoner had a pipe and if it had pot residue in it, it was a good stop.

Having that Gadsden flag as part of your avatar is ironic.


Actually, if I did not have pay taxes to support the stoners, I would agree with you.



"Don't Tread on Me" ...... unless you suspect I might have drugs, in which case tread away.

Please tell me, who would you appoint to the committee that decides who is "useful" to society and who is not?

What would the criteria be for judging someone's "usefulness"?

What do you suggest the final solution should be to rid the world of those deemed "not-useful"?

You said those who can look at the situation objectively become cops.  Now, I don't want to bore you with things like set theory, so let's skip to the end: you effectively said those who did not become cops cannot look at a situation objectively.

Sure I said that, if you're completely fucking retarded and can't comprehend the English language.

Also, since firefighters are good at putting out fires, therefore nobody else in the world can put out a fire.

most humans can not look at the situation objectively. Those who can become cops.

I've been assured repeatedly, that that is in fact how it works, by police officers no less. Which definitively proves the supposition, only police are objective, because police say so, see it all works.

Look, you want to have a serious discussion about this? Like a non-GD discussion about this incident? Post it somewhere other than GD, otherwise you will continue to get typical GD responses.

My comment "Those who can't..." was facetious. Not the entire post, just that comment. You can't accept that, whatever, I care not. Remember, though, it's just the internet, and if you're seriously going to get bent out of shape because someone exaggerated to be silly on the internet, then you seriously need to step away and take a break.

It doesn't really matter.  You spent your next few posts saying that it was a good search because the cop didn't know the guy wasn't committing a crime. If you want to delete that I cited your "facetious" comment you can plug in all the other bullshit you said as just as good of an example.

I did, and I came to the same conclusion.

You're judging the basis for the stop on the result.

If they had found 4 kilos of heroin you wouldn't be thinking the same way.
Then your reading comprehension fails twice. The cop claimed that an UNTRAINED dog inside his cruiser WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP smelled weed. It doesn't matter what he might have found. Innocent until proven guilty apparently is lost on you.

I don't recall reading anything about the non-drug dog alerting in the Warrant application.  In addition, the driver stated Hatch said the dog was going crazy not that he alerted.  From what I read of the ACLU there appears to be a fairly substantial gap between the two sides of the story.

Does sound though as if the officer using the actions of the dog to justify a vehicle search and/or the seizure of the vehicle until said time that a search warrant could be obtained. Not insignificant IMHO.

Dude, he's just trolling you now. If he's a cop, it's got to be a small dept. The cops at bigger depts around here are pretty good guys and not uptight enough to be trolling internet forums. Just remember that when you read some of these comments...someone isn't getting enough attention IRL.

ARDestructo isn't a cop but his parents are lawyers and FBI IIRC.  He has/is pursuing a case against a dept in Texas for rights violations because he was illegally stopped while driving IIRC.

No.
There couldn't have been odor in the car because I had in an air freshener not to mention the single cigarette smoked in there that day.
The officer told me during the stop when his mic was off that the dog in his car was going crazy. Like I said though, It wasn't a drug sniffing dog.

Do you have a copy of the police report?  
MJ residue in the pipe that was found in the car but there couldn't be MJ odor in the car?
Did the officer actually say his dog alerted or is that journalistic license by a creative lawyer?

I read the whole thing.

They found a grinder and pipe and he'd been pinched once for misdemeanor personal possession of MJ (dismissed) so I'm sure some will ignore the violation of rights.

But if you read the whole thing, morally and legally that cop deserves charges as does the supervisor he seemed to be getting permission from over the phone.

Disgusting.


How does one know they didn't plant the grinder and pipe? I'm sorry to say, I don't trust cops anymore

Do you have any idea how small a possibility that is.  Infinitesimally small, statistically speaking.  And in the incidents I have read about, the officer had something to gain from it (motive) and many other offenses (a history of it).

That's what most of the "FTP" crowd fail to realize....there are very few of us who are willing to ruin a career over what is basically a misdemeanor arrest.  Why the hell would I want to do that?  What do I get out of it?  A promotion?  For that?  HA !   Not to mention, even if I wanted to, it would be nearly impossible to get away with anything these days.  Video, audio, coworkers, onlookers....the list goes on.

So you're saying you don't know the answer to my question?

Look, if you want to debate the finer points of law enforcement with someone who does it for a living, you need to do your own footwork.  As it is now, you asked a question which you can answer by yourself. I'm not going to hold your fucking hand while you figure it out, because I'm not an elementary school teacher.

Go find the application for the search warrant and you'll have your answer. If you want to learn about LE (instead of harass and troll LEOs in GD) and have a legitimate question, post a thread  in BOTS and we'll have this discussion in a different environment with a different tone.
