Marijuana bust: Ohio students headed to Aspen arrested for possession

I got stoned on many Greyhound buses and drunk on more

and this is the future of our american gene pool?  white, arrogant, obnoxious, entitled and not too socially conversive.   protected by their brethren and accomplices in the drug trades (of all colors and breeds) like a band of merry malcontents certain of their own worth.  AlQueda need do no further harm, this crowd will do all the damage needed, from within.

Stupid is as stupid does ...smoke em if you got em... lol :P Dumb-ass...

The Forth Amendment to the constitution protects persons against unreasonable searches. In certain circumstances, warrantless searches supported by probable cause may be reasonable and proper under the Fourth Amendment. Such warrantless searches are acceptable when (1) exigent circumstances exist; (2) the search is conducted insident to an arrest; or (3) consent is obtained.

Because the officers reasonably believed that one or more passengers were smoking pot and alcohol consumption by a minor was involved would not give them blanket probable cause to search all passenger (google search for Greenburg Taurig report of the Atlanta Eagle raid where the city paid nearly $5M settling illegal search and seizure and federal civil right suits) especially luggage in the under carriage compartment or the 2nd and 3rd buses.

It is also unlikely that a court would uphold the bus driver's right to consent to the search of the personal belongings of the passengers. In State v. Miller (1991), 77 Ohio App. 3d 305 -- Hotel room was searched without a warrant after the police were contacted by hotel employees and advised of suspected drugs found in the room. Warrant was required. Hotel could not consent to such a search. Also see State v. Hall (1994), 66 Ohio Misc. 2d 80.

No different than being busted for underage drinking. 21 and up. He deserved it. We dont need stuff like this mucking it up for everyone. Granted underage drinking happens but it, sadly, has less of a negative connotation than MJ use.

It all comes down to respect. Respect my right to smoke marijuana and I will respect your right to not want me to smoke it in front of you. Respect my right to do it in the privacy of my own home and I will respect your right to not wanting me to blow smoke in your face. Respect the laws of the state you are in and most of all children, respect the bus driver!

HELLO 21 AND OLDER

Too bad they didn't make it, woulda been cool to party with this crew!

Yes they were stupid. But Felons ? Really ? We couldnt fine them severely, give them a few days in Jail.... We HAVE to charge them with Felonies ? So lets do our best to destroy their future because they were acting like most of the knuckleheads I see attending school in Boulder ? College Kids acting stupid and smoking pot, thats new..... Perhaps we should start doing the same with underage drinkers ? Makem ALL felons I say !

stupid kids!

idiot!

Idiots. If they would have had some respect for the bus driver the first time he asked them to not smoke they wouldnt have had a problem... but instead they want to be arrogant little pricks and that got them busted.

Hope that's not the kind of idiots this amendment will attract to our great state.

You just can't fix stupid.

dumb shit , that's what he gets . Grow up kid , we don't want a bad rep because your an IDIOT.

Fools like that need to stay away.....

"the amount of marijuana they had might still have violated this state's law".

Might NOT Have Either....

This Is How I  Keep The Heat Off Me..Huge Smiles For The Private Prison Insustry.

I  met a few of the OSU kids in Aspen.  Its clear they forgot that Indiana is a long way from colorful Colorado.
