In this episode of The Cole Memo, I sit down with legal professionals Evan Bruno and Bob Galhotra to dissect the Illinois Supreme Court’s rulings on Redmond and Molina, two pivotal cases involving traffic searches and cannabis odor. We break down the broader implications of these rulings, discuss the controversial “odor-proof container” requirement, and examine how these legal developments could embolden law enforcement. Towards the end of the show, we explore the fascinating contrast between hemp and state-regulated marijuana.
