"Police at the Telluride festival had posted signs along the road saying, "Narcotics checkpoint, one mile ahead" and "Narcotics canine ahead." Officers wearing camouflage hid on a hill and watched for any people who turned around or appeared to toss drugs out of their windows after seeing the signs.

After Stephen Corbin Roth, 60, was pulled over for littering, police found a marijuana pipe and mushrooms while searching his car."

I feel alot better knowing that they separated this old hippy from his pot pipe. How soon do the door to door searches start?

1. old trick

Several podunk forces do it. Wait to see who stops and cleans out their car, ostensibly stops them for littering, and the rest is history.
