Everyone is a potential trafficker, murder or criminal. That is what makes being a cop so difficult. However, the magnitude of the potential is usually determined by things like information and evidence.

> how would the police be expected to act when dealing with a potential trafficker with a fake passport?

I mean, maybe he had an amazing fake passport and body cavities full of drugs but it is a bit difficult to roll the dice on those assumptions if 1) the passport is real 2) he didn't.

They didn't have evidence. I've dabbled in my fare share of narcotics as well, and if you could "smell" it. It was only possible to mean some sort of cannibus. What human could smell an oz of Coke inside another human? Seems like a pretty broad over reach here, either straight up incompetence or racism.

Yes, the smell was specified in the article, you can't smell anything else
