Sure. Him shooting on police was 100% what led to his death. I'm not disagreeing there at all.
But thinking that there was any universe 5 jump out cops stop a vehicle and then don't search it is crazy.
If they can make up the seatbelt as the reason to stop the vehicle in the first place, they can make up smelling pot or seeing a baggie through a window as their reason to do a probable cause search
The ends were always going to justify the means here. It wasn't an honest pullover for traffic violation to begin with.
We all know the reason was not seatbelt. They knew something and their information proved correct. And I don’t think the “I smell weed” has much credibility anywhere at this point-even where still illegal. Not even sure if legal in Chicago. It is in NYC
