https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... nabis.htmlPolice officers have been told they can't stop and search suspects just because they smell of cannabis, a watchdog said yesterday.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said that the smell of cannabis on a suspect was not enough by itself to justify a stop and search as they ruled on a case involving an officer stopping cyclist Emmanuel Arthur.
