Nigel Bradham arrested

Riding around with that load in Colorado bumps you up to intent to sell and carries a 2-6 stint at the Graybar Hotel and a $500k fine…throw in the false tags on the car and having a stolen gun and you’re looking at some serious vacation time.
But in a lot of cases it should be. The weed is one thing, the stolen firearm is a big deal. Gotta be smarter than that and if you're not you need to spend some alone time thinking about the decisions you are making.
Correct - chronic bronchial failure would come way before being burned-out at a consumption rate of over two ounces a day.

Thanks. And the scary part is that he wasn’t the stupidest guy in the room. Geez!
Arent a lot of police cars equipped with cameras that run all plates they catch? Not that I’m a fan of that but I have heard at least some have that tech. If so the fact the plates didn’t match would be a good reason to pull folks over. And I have no issue with continuing a stop when they smell weed. Or beer. Or liquor. Legal doesn’t mean they should be doing it driving.
I am all about legalization. And I think a lot of our drug laws have had a very bad impact on minorities. They’ve been unfair in their very existence but even worse in application. But in today’s world you can’t have a stolen gun and pounds of weed. It’s just dumb.
Bro!

NFL vet Nigel Bradham busted in Florida with pounds of pot, guns in Corvette
The 32-year-old Bradham, who played one game for the Denver Broncos last season, was pulled over Saturday in Leon County when its tags came back “not assigned.”

Never heard of that tech, but wouldn’t surprise me. I doubt they’re sophisticated enough to also recognize the mismatch of a plate to a vehicle, without the cop reviewing the plate information. I’d be more willing to bet that the cop profiled him than a super camera doing so.
The thing about using the smell of weed to search is that the smell stays on both fabrics and other people as well as the driver. It could just as easily been a passenger with a medical marijuana card or his previous passenger that left the smell on his car seat. Without a valid concern regarding the drivers behavior, it’s too often used as another way to put a Black person in jail. You already mentioned the impact on minority, but it’s been statistically proven that minorities are arrested by police for minor drug charges much more often compared to their actual drug usage. Nigel’s case may or may not be another example.
Makes perfect sense. Once you dismiss not assigned tag, the stolen handgun and the 3.4 lbs of pot He is definitely guilty of his race. 
A pound a week? Call me dubious. I don't think even Bob Marley smoked that much. 😂
If you don’t want to get in trouble don’t do stupid things that are risky. Cops and the general public have enough to worry about without morons rolling around all day high as a kite. Act your age. Your not 18 Nigel.
Right, lets allow all stolen firearms to be possessed like legal ones and while were at it allow cars to be driven without plates. Why have laws at all?
2 large bags in the trunk, 10 little bags in duffel with a gun, sure sounds like dealing. Stolen gun out of Missouri? Maybe Nigel needs to do some time to get back on track. Sammy Smith came back from stupidity, I'd have him do an emergency intervention on Bradham to get his mind right.
That 3lbs was for his own personal use, he needs a lot to deal with all the aches and pains of playing football for so many years. lol. Sad situation, very poor decision.
Ok lets drop the 3 lbs of pot that were just for personal use.
Now we only have the car without assigned tags and a stolen gun. Both a non issue I guess?
Pretty sure the weed charge will be dropped but its the no tag and illegal gun that's the real problem and just poor judgement.
Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) capture computer-readable images of license plates. These high-tech devices allow law enforcement agencies to compare plate numbers against those of stolen cars or cars driven by people suspected of being involved in criminal or terrorist activities.

This is from 2015 so use your imagination.
My police dept. here has those. They can drive up and down the rows of a parking lot and they read every parked car tag.
Don’t disagree. It’s a mess. I’m just not sure this is the case that shows it. I also think it’s stupid to have your car smelling like that. It’s just asking for trouble.
But, I’m guessing it doesn’t somehow read the make and model of the car it’s on? That would require a person to check it to see if it matches, correct?
I don't think so. It most likely just flags the tag, I think.
No but I bet a lot of cops look at the make model compared to licenses when they’re just rolling slowly.
I hope the guy has taken care of his money. In 2018 he signed what was reported as a "5-year, $40MM contract." Sounds like a lottery win, right? Not so fast. Upon closer review, only $6MM of the deal was truly guaranteed (a $5MM signing bonus and his base salary of $1MM in 2018). The contract was heavily "back-loaded," with no guarantees if he did not get there. And he didn't. He was released after the 2019 season, so he never reached the "sweet" part of the $40MM contract.
These guys get about 50% of their earnings after you back out taxes and agent fees. Nigel honestly did not make that much money in his career. Enough for a "regular Joe" to be secure, but I have no idea what kind of lifestyle Nigel lived. This current chapter makes me wonder.

If a camera scans the plate from say a police car the info on the make and model will come up on the computer screen in the police car. If it says 96 Ford F150 and there is a Corvette in front of you then there's and issue. Probably was some sort of probable cause like tail lite out or traffic violation. In this case it could be a Fast Times type thing with smoke rolling out the windows.
He could passively scan plates while driving. When the Vette comes up as Ford F150 bingo! The cop doesn't need to call it in unless they don't have that tech but its out there. I sure hope folks dont pay six figures for a Chevrolet.
You don't follow the prices of cars much do you.
Not those type cars had to look it up. I could get a BMW M Sport Competition or a Decked out Range Rover for that kind of coin.
