My question involves police conduct in the State of: PA
My friend is an idiot. I tell him all the time, if he wants to partake in smoking marijuana, keep it inside the damn house. But no, he smokes out on his deck, in the yard when he's cutting grass, etc. He claims that he isn't worried - and that nothing will happen.
My questions is this - he lives in a rural neighborhood with neighbors on both side of his house. What would happen if a neighbor taking out the trash smells marijuana smoke and decides to call the cops to report that "I smell marijuana and I think it is coming from next door".
Are the cops legally entitled to make contact with my friend?
Can they actually come on the property to investigate based up such a call from a neighbor that sees no illegal activity, but simply smells weed?
Is a neighbor smelling weed smoke PC for a cop to initiate a search?
