Right to refuse
On Nov. 19 at 1:59 a.m., WSUPD officers were contacted about a marijuana odor near University Village. The officer arrived and found a group of five individuals outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints near the Village. The individuals claimed that they were outside to vape and smoke. The officer then noticed one of the individuals had a backpack, so the officer asked to search it, to which the individual refused. The officer asked if there was anything illegal in the bag, the owner claimed there was nothing illegal in the bag. At this point the officer smelled a strong stench of marijuana, but the individual would still not let the officer search their bag. The officer instructed everyone to vacate the premises. Then the case was closed.
At least wait five minutes.
