      It's called probable cause. Whether or not there is drugs in the envelope or not, the police can't 100% confirm there are drugs in there, therefore they have no probable cause to search. Same goes if the person was black.

      HE NEEDed A LIFE COACH BEFORE HE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL. I wonder what his wife was doing while if drank and partied? Hopefully she was raising the kids. He couldn't have been a great father being 'all consumed' with his addictions. Idk🤷🏼‍♀️. RIP ROB🙏

    Rob did have questionable behaviour in his personal life and sometimes that spilled into the public eye, but that aside, I have to tell people, he did his job as mayor of Toronto, and he did it well,,, he listened to the public and they're concerns, and has been the only mayor that I've seen in my 51 years that actually addressed the public's concerns to the best result that could be for each issue. Rob should be honoured, being a true politician for the people of our age!

That’s with an understanding that these are sick ppl, who didn’t choose to have an addictive personality disorder.
