DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that the odor of marijuana alone isn't reason enough for police to search a car without a warrant. The ruling Wednesday comes nearly seven years after Michigan voters legalized the possession and use of the drug by people who are at least 21 years old. The court threw out gun charges against a man whose car was searched in Detroit in 2020. Justice Megan Cavanagh, writing for the majority, wrote that the smell of marijuana “no longer constitutes probable cause sufficient to support a search" for something possibly illegal.
