I am 19y.o in Hamilton County, TN. I was woken up and arrested Friday morning around 4am for possession of 2g of marijuana and paraphernalia (3 bowls confiscated). I have several questions about the whole incident, so I will just start from the beginning. I arrived at my girlfriend's campus apt. around 1am, we smoked around 2am, and went to sleep shortly after. At 3:30am the cops came beating on main door until some Resident staff member unlocked her apt. They came directly to her room door and demanded entry based on reports of suspicion of marijuana smells. This leads to my first question- did the police have the right to force entry into the apt. and room just based on an anonymously reported suspicious odor?
