US: Cannabis odor could once again lead to car searches during traffic stops

WNYT

Wednesday 26 Feb 2025

Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing giving law enforcement some ability to use the smell of cannabis to determine reasonable cause during a traffic stop.

That’s something police have been prohibited from doing since 2021, when the state legalized recreational cannabis.

The language doesn’t go all the way back, but specifies that the smell of marijuana could be used to support a court-ordered blood test, especially when involving a crash or personal injury accident.

Advocates worry it could be applied liberally by law enforcement.
