🏈 Woman with Buckeye decal pulled over, mistaken for marijuana dealer

How stupid is this? I know people with actual marijuana leaf decals and they don't get pulled over. You can't pull someone over for their freakin' decal. Not to mention, how did these guys not recognize that it was the Buckeye leaf? And bringing out body armor and guns??? A little excessive. I really want to believe it's a prank.

From the article:
“It’s just amazing they would be that dumb,” Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni said.

Before they let her go on her way, the officers advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the decal from her car.

“I said, ‘You mean in Tennessee?’ and he said, ‘No, permanently.’
“I didn’t take it off. . . . This little old lady is no drug dealer.”

Not a surprise... after high school graduation our senior class took a trip to the bahamas. I bought a joke t-shirt that had a Marijuana leaf on it with Bob Marley's face in the middle... we got pulled over on the way back home (from Jacksonville where the ship was) and the cop saw my shirt and immediately said "I smell reefer" and claimed that gave him probable cause. He called in more cops and they searched every one of our bags and the vehicle. One of them pulled my case of CDs out of my bag and started looking thru it and said "Mm Hm, we know hes a pot head" (it was all rap) and kept searching. Obviously they didn't find a damn thing but the entire time they had 2 of my buddies in the back of a cop car, me sitting on the sidewalk in handcuffs, and the other was made to stand there and watch the search (for whatever reason). After they didnt find anything they just let us go and told us to "buckle up" before leaving, no apology or nothing. Parents probably should have went after em with a lawsuit.

That's insane. Talk about making mountains out of molehills.

Makes for a neat story though!
