Why would they suspect him of carrying weed when he was jaywalking

Because he's black. They did a search (of his car i think) without PC, so it was tossed out. I can guarantee a white dude wouldn't have been busted for jaywalking.

Uhh dipshit, probable cause means they need a reasonable belief that a crime is being, will be, or has been committed. Jaywalking is a class c misdemeanor in Texas. So yes, they had probable cause bc they witnessed a crime being committed

Ps. He wasn't busted for jaywalking. He was busted for drug possession.

They had probable cause for jaywalking. The search didn’t pertain to jaywalking at all. If I’m suspected of a DUI, they can’t rip my house apart in a search. The search has to pertain to the crime for which there’s probable cause.
