Ah yes let's pull over some 70 year old guy because he might have something less harmful than alcohol in the car.

I had no idea that stopping someone with a Colorado plates was enough for probable cause. I had no idea the entire state was baked out.

Unless this becomes some widespread issue, it's an instance of one cop being a douche. Small fish.

I remember when this law passed police departments in some of the border states said they were "worried" about marijuana from Colorado entering their states. Considering how high the taxes are I'm sure very little is leaving the state.

Or it could be that the circumstances in the "article" aren't totally accurate, considering it's apparently based solely upon a combination of the lawsuit (ie, one side's story) and the author's personal biases.

Idaho cops are actually pretty reasonable WRT traffic enforcement most of the time.
