More and more states are legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana, but Nebraska hasn’t yet. For those who travel through the state, the number of marijuana arrests on I-80 means that more travelers will be impacted.
Do you travel on I-80? It is a major highway that connects San Francisco with New York, making it a thoroughfare for marijuana trafficking - and people who are just going on vacation or trying to get to work. Labeled as a “drug corridor” by law enforcement agencies within the state and outside of it, it will become a major focus of traffic stops and seizures, predicts 1-80 marijuana arrest lawyer Daniel Stockmann. This could spell trouble for anyone who wants to travel through Nebraska, including those who aren't guilty of drug trafficking.
Nebraska Drug Attorney Daniel Stockmann explains: “While surrounding states have legalized marijuana, it is still against the law to possess it in Nebraska, even if you are only traveling through the state. In fact, I foresee a time when most traffic stops focus on out of state passengers.”
Rental cars are popular for those who are traveling longer distances in the middle of the country, so law enforcement will always have their hands full.
Who does he think will face the most scrutiny? “Now, all out of state cars always have increased scrutiny. Even so, I predict that people from Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington will be the primary focus for drug trafficking,” Attorney Stockmann further explains. “If I needed to travel, I'd use my own car. Rental cars may just bring more problems than you really need to have for a vacation."
