Dogs can find it anywhere. I was just saying that with it in the trunk through Utah and Nevada, we'd refrain from the temptation to smoke it on the road.

The Supreme Court has held that drug checkpoints are illegal.

The police can use drug dogs to sniff the air around your car if you are pulled over for a legitimate reason. If the dog alerts on the car, then they can search.

I have a co-worker here in Mass. who is a major pot smoker. He always speeds on his way to work (always a bit late)and drives a black Camero. He is often stopped. I suggested that he get a new license plate, as his current one draws attention- "TRIPPIN."

Wyoming might not do MJ checks but Colorado cops will pull you over during June and July if you are coming back from Wyoming and have Colorado plates. They do this to bust you for bringing "illegal" fireworks over state line. It's pretty sad that they are more strict about fireworks than they are drugs.

But yet firework checkpoints are perfectly okay....

Well, that might have something to do with it! We drive to Nebraska at least once a year, on I-76, the main route into Nebraska from Colorado. No checkpoints, nothing.

I've driven back into CO from WY many times in June/July and have never seen a "fireworks checkpoint".

Other states want you to stop for gas, snacks, hotel rooms, meals, road side attractions in their states.

Officially they say they're against 'pot tourists' driving to and from Colorado..Unofficially they're happy for it.

The only thing I've seen, so far, is in Kansas. There is an exit which has no services or any reason for anyone but locals to use. Just before the exit there is a sign that says "Drug Checkpoint Ahead" or something to that affect. and some blinking blue and read lights visible up the next hill past the exit.

I suspect that if you take the exit, you will find a couple of State Troopers at the bottom of the hill that will really want to know where you are going.

It is illegal for them to set up a blanket "checkpoint" for drugs. They can have cops out as normal: a speed trap, look for swerving cars, or a DUI check, but they cannot stop and search every car without some sort of probable cause (even if it's super insignificant: dirty headlight, license plate obscured, etc.)

What they can do, and what has long been done on the border for Utah (long before A64, just since their laws have always been harsher), is exactly what this poster describes. They'll put up flashing signs about an upcoming check, and watch through binoculars for who turns. Even if it is a legal U-turn, the simple act of turning around is probable cause.

They can't search every car (simply due to volume, not so much laws), but they can pull you over, and check the obvious stuff (does it smell like weed, red eyes, etc), which you shouldn't be doing anyway even inside Colorado.
