  A few years ago, a friend of mine here in Seattle went to visit his friend in Ohio, who wanted him to bring some legal pot. He took a train to Chicago, then rented a car to drive the rest of the way. He got stopped in Indiana, consented to a search where the officer found the pot in the car. My friend was lucky, he only got a warning with the pot seized, he was carrying a bit more than what would be considered a personal stash. The cop told him that a quarter of the rental cars he stopped on the highway were carrying some form of contraband. Apparently, out of state rental cars on the highway attract police attention.

    And they were most likely looking for large amounts of cash, Cops love the Seize cash, anyone carrying more than 10K in cash will likely never see it again, perfectly legal under Civil Asset Forfeiture

    why did he consent to the search when he knew he had contraband in the vehicle?

  We’ve talked about it this a lot. He takes precautions, such as vacuum sealing his cargo and keeping it in a locked bag, leaving at a reasonable time, not driving erratically, no evidence in the car, getting rid of all the receipts, etc. But even he acknowledges it’s a risk; just for him I think it is a worthwhile risk to not have to deal with that shoebox of medications.
