The officer smelled pot and found cash, confusing at best since there was no pot in the car and quickly our client’s funds were seized, his car towed, his phone taken and he was indicted.

For a year and a half we worked through the details, the fears and the anxieties. We drafted and filed a motion to suppress that was continued by covid-19 and today, the State dismissed the case, returning the funds and freeing our client from becoming a felon.

The beginning of another week brought more positive outcomes. Another case of a young man from out of state who was targeted for being in a rental car.

His Colorado license, which was valid, and his supposed carotid artery pulse during a traffic stop led to extensive questioning about his travel plans. The officers ran a K9 over his car, felt they smelled marijuana and searched the car, finding a large sum of us currency in a bag in the back. They seized his money and his phone, searched his car without consent, and cited him for a non expungable felony.

Thankfully, we filed a motion to suppress the evidence and the Oregon Supreme Court helped us out with new case law and our client’s case has been dismissed and his funds will be returned.

Yet another reminder that we still need more criminal justice system reform in the area of marijuana interdiction - and that we should stop choosing young men we don’t think deserve to have privilege to search, seize and indict. Happy to have started off the week with another one - and so thankful to my client, my paralegal, our team and to the Supreme Court.
