   TURMEL: Cop says: I smell pot! Show buddy's Exemption for smell!   
      
   JCT: Hearing a recent story about people having their cars   
   searched because a cop said "I smell pot" even when there   
   wasn't any has prompted me to proffer a MedPot Guerrilla   
   Tactic:   
      
   There was an an exemptee who gave everyone with whom he rode   
   a copy of his exemption so when they heard the dreaded "I   
   smell pot" after being stopped, they could say "Sure, here's   
   the license of the guy who rides around with me."   
      
   It's too easy for a cop to get into my car by lying with his   
   nose; I can't cross-examine his sense of smell.   
      
   But an exemption in the glove box would seem to be the ideal   
   protection! So I'm going to advise every exemptee to do all   
   your friends a favor and give them a copy of your exemption   
   so whenever I hear the dreaded "I smell pot" move, there is   
   an iron-clad alibi that keeps them out of my car.   
      
   It would be even better if I rode around with several   
   exemptees to have them all at hand.   
      
   I've just put my brother's exemption in my glove compartment   
   and will add Mike Spottiswood's and any other exemptee I   
   manage to get into my car. So don't just say: Good idea.   
   Make yourself 20 copies right now to hand out to those whom   
   you wish to protect from such unreasonable search and   
   seizure. And one for me when we meet.   
      
   I can't wait to hear the first reports on how far their   
   sense of smell will get them into your car when they're   
   faced with a legal right for the smell to be there.
