Odor of Marihuana Provided Probable Cause to Search Defendant’s Car and Person

The Second Department determined the odor of marihuana coming from inside defendant’s car provided the police with probable cause to search defendant’s car and person:

… [T]he police had probable cause to search the defendant’s vehicle and his person. An officer testified at the suppression hearing that he detected the odor of marihuana emanating from inside the vehicle through the open front windows. He further testified that he had been trained in the detection of marihuana and had made hundreds of drug arrests. Contrary to the defendant’s contention, “[t]he odor of marihuana emanating from a vehicle, when detected by an officer qualified by training and experience to recognize it, is sufficient to constitute probable cause” to search a vehicle and its occupants.. . People v McLaren, 2015 NY Slip Op 06522, 2nd Dept 8-12-15
