I smell...a minor crime

What is the name of your state? CA

The court found the legislature has determined that possession of small quantities of marijuana is a "low social and health hazard" so the mere smell of marijuana found by police during response to a noise complaint is not exigent circumstances. (Summary from [url]http://www.fourthamendment.com/blog/[/url])

Since the police can enter to arrest (other than on the threshold the person who opened the door) with consent, a warrant or *probable cause AND exigent circumstances*, potheads throughout the state (at least in the first district) toke safely tonight.

That's very interesting. Thanks for posting it, tranquility.

The Good People of Denver, CO have TWICE voted on referendum in the last couple of years: first, to decriminalize less than 1 oz. of pot; and secondly, to direct the Denver Police to place "small pot crimes" as the very lowest priority for enforcement/punishment.

In both instances, the City of Denver has refused to listen to the voters.

I'm much more disgusted by Denver's city govt. than I am by the pot smokers.
