D.Md.: Even with MJ decrim, smell of MJ from a vehicle is still PC by statute and state case law

According to the state courts and statute, the smell of marijuana from a van was still probable cause in Maryland despite decriminalization. The search of the vehicle and a backpack within was thus lawful. United States v. Palacio, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 215114 (D. Md. Dec. 12, 2019).

Multiple controlled buys by the police from defendant’s house over a period of months showed the search warrant wasn’t stale. State v. Janssen, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 10824 (Tex. App. – Amarillo Dec. 12, 2019).
