I agree with the rest of your comment but

> You can't arrest someone by smelling like weed in any democracy where it's illegal either.

isn't true. Sweden is super strict on usage and if even a "normal" person and/or neighbour would smell weed from you or your place they'd definitely call the cops on you. If a cop smelled weed on you in public you'd get arrested immediately no doubt.

Yet, most people consider Sweden a democracy :)



I'm sorry, but I was partially pulling a No True Scotsman on that part.

If some random policeman can look at you, decide to arrest you with no real evidence, and it's all legal, that a huge Human Rights violation right there.

How does a judge deal with this? Do they rush to smell the culprit too?
