Not every teen that carries a lighter smokes. In some jurisdictions the officer needs more than a lighter to support probable cause that a minor has tobacco or marijuana in his/her possession. </p> http://askthejudge.info/forums/topic/police-tricky-people#post-11 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 07:44:42 +0000 Donnie 11@http://askthejudge.info/forums/ <p>I had a cop ask me if i had a lighter on me, he had a cigar he "wanted" to light, but im a minor, so if i had a lighter would that give him reasonable cause to search me? </p>
