YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Could the smell of marijuana alone soon lose its power to get you pulled over in Georgia?

House Bill 496 would make it illegal for officers to stop, search, or arrest someone solely based on the scent of marijuana. Supporters say legal hemp and marijuana smell the same, making it an unreliable reason to act.

Opponents say it takes away a key tool from law enforcement.
