[Note: this arrest predates the law change described below.]
On February 22, 2021, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed three bills changing the legal status of marijuana in the state. These laws, which went into immediate effect, created a two-tier framework: regulated, and everything else. The former is fully legal in New Jersey, while everything in the latter is still defined as “controlled dangerous substances†under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-2. That said, despite the scary-sounding name, the latter category has been largely decriminalized for non-distribution offenses. The new laws eliminated existing prohibitions and created new, more lenient penalties for possession and distribution.
As of mid-September, New Jersey courts had automatically expunged more than 360,000 low-level marijuana cases, with more than 100,000 additional cases eligible for automatic expungement.
According to a March 26, 2021 document published by the Attorney General of New Jersey, under the new law, if a driver is not found to be under the influence, the odor of marijuana, either burned or raw, by itself does not establish reasonable suspicion to justify a continued stop, nor probable cause to conduct a search — even in a low-level possession with intent to distribute marijuana case.
There are also severe restrictions on law enforcement officers’ ability to investigate and take action against anyone under the age of 21 who is suspected or known to be in possession of marijuana.
Due to the above changes in New Jersey law, Real World Police will not be providing any details about this incident or the arrestee, beyond what is communicated in the video.

I want to support the police so bad, but really we’re still doing this? Country is on the brink of Civil War and we’re still arresting people for Weed?
I’m smoking right now shaking my head! Gotta keep them jails and prisons full somehow I guess.
Weed residue? I can sleep safe now.
I like good cop work. This one is a dumb cop who thinks he is solving the community problem by arresting someone with weed residue. Give him a desk job
Daym! How much trash ya got in that car? Ccant imagine your house. Scarry.
Disgusting inside car to much garbage 😂
Be on the look out for that Raw Weed residue.
Cops are gonna go crazy when weed becomes completely legal they won't have the bs excuse to search
Is this what Nixon envisioned when he created “the war on drugs�
Wow keeping the streets safe are you serious for a hint of an order of Weed. Get a life police
Officers have one goal in mind…to put people in jail…and that's a miserable daily life…to search hunt and ask questions specifically trying to put people in jail…sucks to be you…
this is what our taxes go to…..?
they didn't look inside the trunk
What a clown.
Why do women just throw their trash in the floorboard and have such cluttered cars? Seriously they never throw anything away lol. No offense ladies but you know it's true 😉
It's like, they get a high off of making an arrest. Sickening.
She is lucky. In that town, having a roach or more is a capital crime.
Why did they stop her is the real question?
One She dont know her rights because they cant and not suppose to search her car unless they have a warrant
2.) If you dont see no weed then let her go and give her a warning and let her go if her registration is suspended..
Crooked ass cops
Meanwhile it’s legal in the same exact country lol…I support cops but not this bullshit. Get it together New Jersey.
I wonder when police is gonna start arresting actuall criminals ( like robbers, m-urd-erers, predators ) instead of arresting people smoking weed???!!! Whata joke
Wow..all they got was residue on a grinder. Get her, good job guys..smh
Meanwhile fentanyl is running rampant.
Welocome to the communist state of NJ…
Back the blue? Pffft my ass.
Robbery’s, thefts, car jacking , armed robbery, home break ins and more…
But officer residue is on the case backed up by Sgt Doofy ..
One of the many reasons why I left NJ ( shit hole).
Between the super troopers pulling you over because your window factory tint is too dark to their stance on owning a weapon NJ can kiss my ass
Not a good look NJ, this is absolutely ridiculous. I support the police 99.9% of the time and this is the .01% I don't agree with. DICK HEADS
These white officers are obviously pissed they have it small. That’s why weed was illegal in the first place lol too many white woman seeking bigger men.
All that for a empty bottle and grinder 🤦ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
Driving without insurance and registration just a ticket but uses weed paraphernalia 2 arrest her
Thank you for shining a light on this disturbing immorality that some (not all) are forced to endure. How many lives and families have been (and will be) destroyed needlessly?
I’m more worried about the life choices that lead to such a messy car…. Screw the weed.
She just got in the car from the bank these guys are stupid
as you guys seem to have the time …want to earn some extra $$$'s and Valet the car for her?
Yes!! Another Uber violent criminal is off the streets!!
Grinder without residue, 5 to 10 years in prison minimum. Grinder with the slightest hint of residue, 20 years to life. America really needs to step up their punishments. I mean, a fully justifiable punishment for just dreaming about a joint should be the death sentence.
This is why people don’t like cops. Gonna ruin someone’s life over weed residue. At least now I can sleep better at night.
Isn’t weed legal in New Jersey ?
Is she driving a dumpster? You need a snow shovel to clean the floor
living in canada smokin my weed eating my shrooms thanking my now passed grandparents for choosing Halifax over New York when they immigrated as children close to 100 years ago now,, they had the choice.. my grannys sister went to new york,
