Yeah that is what I meant. If a cop says "I smell marijuana" they have probable cause to search your car.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Since marijuana is illegal if a cop smells it or sees a joint or a roach. Legally they have the right to search the car.

If you had red or glossy eyes they have the right to do a field sobriety test but not to search you car
