Our client was pulled over by cops after he made a wide right turn. The officer stated that he smelled “the strong odor of burnt marijuana,” and subsequently searched our client’s car. A gun and marijuana were found. Temani filed a Motion to Suppress, based on a bad stop. The judge denied our motion.
Our client insisted that there was no marijuana in the car, and that the cops didn’t show him the marijuana that they found. We then filed a Motion to Inspect, demanding that they prosecutor show us the marijuana. At the police property room, an officer pulled out the marijuana. The amount was so small that it couldn’t be tested. Texas law requires that the amount of marijuana at least be a usable amount. Based on the small amount of marijuana, both charges were dismissed.
