How often do police officers use the excuse that they smelled marijuana to justify searching people and cars?
If you get into a car accident in Texas would you expect the police to order a “forced blood draw” because they claimed to smell marijuana? 
Well it could happen to anyone, as KSAT12 explains.
When Leon Valley Corporal Michelle Barrientes-Vela and Chief Deputy Anthony Castillo arrived at the scene of a two-car accident involving 19-year-old Madison Huizar, things quickly took a turn for the worse.
“A 19-year-old San Antonio woman involved in a car crash earlier this year had her blood drawn without the arresting law enforcement agency first obtaining a search warrant and was nearly subjected to a cavity search.”
Barrientes, wanted to ticket Huizar for driving without a valid license but Castillo was having none of it and insisted he smelled pot emanating from Huizar’s car.
Police claim airbag smelled like pot
Despite finding no evidence of pot in her possession, purse or her car, Castillo ordered University Hospital staff to conduct a forced blood draw without a warrant.
So what happened?  How could an experienced deputy insist that he smelled marijuana when no one else did?........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/chief-deputy-claims-airbag-deployment-smelled-like-marijuana/244663
