Illinois Supreme Court rules that the smell of raw cannabis in a car justifies a search.

The Illinois Supreme Court has determined that the smell of raw cannabis in a vehicle gives police probable cause to conduct a search, unlike the smell of burnt cannabis. This ruling stems from a case where an officer detected raw cannabis, leading to the discovery of multiple joints. The court emphasized that cannabis must be in a sealed, odor-proof container in vehicles, and advised lawmakers to clarify the situation.
