STATUTE DETAIL IN THE APP
(NEW JERSEY SHOWN — STATE PACKS RENDER THE SAME)
The rules that are Florida’s own.
Federal cases set the minimum. Florida’s courts have their own answers — and those are the ones that control your stop, your search, your report.
State v. Simpson
The smell of fresh cannabis, combined with the officers’ narcotics experience and the area’s documented drug activity, gave probable cause to search the car under the automobile exception. The court stressed this was NOT a smell-alone ruling — it upheld the search on the totality of the circumstances.
414 So. 3d 291 (Fla. 6th DCA 2025)FULL BRIEF IN THE FL PACK →
Wooden v. State
The question is not whether the ticket was written yet — it is whether the sniff added time. If it did, you need reasonable suspicion in the record or the case is gone.

Williams v. State
In the 2d DCA the smell of cannabis by itself no longer justifies a vehicle search — it is one factor. Build the totality before you go in.

Federal cases that reach every Florida stop.
Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977)
Ordering the driver out on a lawful stop — what it covers, and what it doesn’t.
Arizona v. Gant (2009)
Once the arrestee is secured, the automatic car search is gone. The two narrow windows that remain.
Riley v. California (2014)
Seizing the phone is one question. Searching its data is another.
Cross the line, keep the reference.
