You're not missing anything.. There's a cognitive disconnect between "weed is legal now" and their brains.
They do the thing they want, which is prioritize stopping minorities and anyone they feel is a target, and then if they smell weed.... Well* now they aren't allowed to legally brutalize someone. They have to actually find a real probable cause.
That's what the "work is much harder now" means. Whether they say it out loud or not.
Exactly. Cops love marijuana criminalization because it provides them a lazy shortcut around the 4th Amendment. A cop can always justify a search by claiming they smelled pot. And there's no way to later prove they were lying. You can't prove someone didn't smell something. If no pot is found, they can just say, "well I guess I was mistaken," and the search is still valid.
