Illinois bill would stop law enforcement from searching cars because of marijuana odor

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:50:53 GMT

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – A proposal at the Illinois Capitol would change the way law enforcement handles marijuana during traffic stops. It would stop them from searching cars just because they smell it.Recreational marijuana has been legal in Illinois since 2020. Advocates say since people can have it, they shouldn't necessarily be punished just because an officer smells it in their vehicle.“The mere fact that there may be cannabis inside the vehicle or that somebody inside the vehicle may have the odor of cannabis on their clothing or on their person is not indicative that any criminal activity has occurred,” Ben Ruddell, the director of criminal justice policy at the ACLU of Illinois, said.  Close Thanks for signing up!
