My 21-year-old client was stopped by an officer on a tint violation and obscured tag frame. At some point, the officer claimed that he smelled marijuana and stated that the smell amounted to sufficient probable cause to search. A small amount of marijuana was found during the search. The client was arrested and charged with a windshield tint violation, obscuring tag frame and Poss of marijuana. Following a brief discussion with the prosecutor as to the questionable search, and the lack of testing results, an offer of dismissal of all charges (marijuana dismissed upon payment of court costs) was made and accepted by the client.
