Out-Of-State Drivers May See More I-80 Marijuana Arrests, Lawyer Predicts I-80 is a major highway that connects San Francisco with New York, making it a thoroughfare for marijuana trafficking. It is labeled as a “drug corridor” by law enforcement agencies within the state and outside of it, As such, law enforcement targets out of state vehicles and rentals. “While surrounding states have legalized marijuana, it is still against the law to possess it in Nebraska, even if you are only traveling through the state. In fact, I foresee a time when most traffic stops focus on out of state passengers," Stockmann explains. This puts pressure on out of state drivers who are following the rules and on the right side of the law. The focus on out of state cars isn’t simply to increase the number of I-80 marijuana arrests, but to find drug traffickers who transport hundreds of pounds of marijuana and other illegal substances through the state. "I predict that people from Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington will be the primary focus for drug trafficking,” Attorney Stockmann further explains." “They will be looking for rental cars, in particular, because these are frequently used and switched on the journey across the country. Remember, however, that in order to stop and search your car, the police need to have probable cause," Stockmann says. While this will catch drug traffickers, it will also impact regular people.
