As much as I'd like to support the police, I have to agree with you. Hell I haven't smoked pot in 35 years or so since I was in college but we should be able to traverse the highways with some expectation of privacy.
I have no idea why the folks from my generation are so gung ho on drug enforcement. A great many of us smoked dope in the 60's and 70's and we know it did not harm us in any big way. Most of the problems were caused by the beer drinkers.
Perhaps if we were getting bombed big time by terrorists and the dogs were going after explosives I might reconsider. But probably not even then without probable cause.
