Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

observing that Moore does not require “‘additional factors to corroborate the suspicion of the presence of marijuana’”
the smell of marijuana by a person qualified to recognize the odor is sufficient to establish probable cause to search a motor vehicle
and then evaluating the general exigency exception in regards to the search of the defendant’s person
an officer with probable cause to believe a person has drugs during a traffic stop need not leave the drugs in the person’s pocket while a warrant is obtained under the exigency exception
“[t]he odor of marijuana was a reasonable ground for Sergeant Greene to believe that defendant was guilty of a drug-related criminal offense,” and, “[t]herefore, … Sergeant Greene had sufficient probable cause to conduct a search”
but finding the particular circumstance alone met the test
