34. i was talking recently to a lawyer about this...

but this was in PA so take it for what it's worth.

If the cop saw it in plain view, he had no need to search the car, it would pretty much be frivilous to hire a lawyer. They're guilty, period.

But, if it was cleverly concealed, like in a glovebox and he searched for it because he either smelled weed or for any other reason, get a damn good lawyer.

Good luck to them, even though they're probably screwed. Hopefully it'll just be a fine.
