The case: State of Kansas v. Robert Alan Wilson, decided Jan. 16, 2015, by the Court of Appeals of Kansas Traffic stops based on hanging air fresheners have occurred in lots of states, despite the incredible sweep implicit in such a broad interpretation of the laws on driver visibility. “There must be a zillion cars driving around with air fresheners,” one judge said. In an air-freshener case decided by the Vermont Supreme Court in March, justices noted the absurdity of the state’s position that all hanging items, not just air fresheners, violate the law. Were that true, the court wrote, people could be pulled over for “spherical crystals, parking placards, medical-alert cards, dog tags, beads, crosses, crucifixes, and, of course, fuzzy dice. … [T]he statute would subject a vast swath of the driving population to police stops without any safety rationale.” Nonetheless, the Vermont Supreme Court forgave the officer’s mistake. The basis for the stop was a ball-type trailer hitch. That hitch, the officers said, obscured their view of the rear license plate, in violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code. But the statute they cited says nothing of trailer hitches, and state legislators made no mention of hitches when passing the law. The statute requires keeping the license plate “free from” materials that obstruct visibility, “including, but not limited to, glass covers and plastic covers.” Eyeballing a photo of the car’s rear, the trial judge questioned just how much the hitch actually shielded: “The only thing it’s obstructing is the little thing at the bottom that says Land of Lincoln or whatever,” the judge said. More important, the Illinois Supreme Court concluded that the statute applied only to objects “physically connected” to the plate, an interpretation that excludes the trailer hitch.One of my family members has recently restored a classic car.

In the eight months since, courts in at least a dozen states have excused mistakes made by police who initiated stops based on a misunderstanding of what is legal and what is not, according to a canvass of court rulings. Police from California to Kansas to Illinois to New Hampshire proved ignorant of the law on items ranging from tail lights to turn signals to tinted windows to fog lines to U-turns to red lights — only to be rewarded for it, as judges, in the typical scenario, refused to throw out evidence (drugs, most often) seized as a result of the ill-founded stops. Named ‘Old Car Smell’, the scent is based on the results of a nationwide social media campaign launched by Channel 4 Car SOS presenter Fuzz Townshend in partnership with the classic vehicle division of insurance brokers Carole Nash. We agree that simply entering an intersection on a yellow light is not — in and of itself — a legitimate basis for a traffic stop,” the state Court of Appeals wrote in January. But the court noted that the officer believed the Malibu’s driver could have stopped in time if he had wanted to. So even if the officer was mistaken about the law, his mistake was reasonable.

Based on the hundreds of suggestions collated via social media, the nation’s top ten most unforgettable motoring scents are: But in at least two other air-freshener cases decided in the last eight months — one out of Kansas City, the other, Las Vegas — courts in those jurisdictions refused to forgive police for mistakenly believing that every dangling pine tree runs afoul of the law, saying the officers’ ignorance was unreasonable. And if you’re wondering why some police seem so keen to stop cars with pine trees, the Kansas City case offers a clue: An officer testified that in his experience, people often use fresheners to mask the smell of drugs. Dawn Holmes, Marketing Manager from the Classic vehicle division of Carole Nash, said. 'We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and interest in helping us to create the ultimate ‘Old Car Smell’ and are delighted with the final fragrance. One sniff of this really does transport you to motoring from decades past and we sincerely hope that it sparks the imagination of classic car enthusiasts everywhere.'

No matter what, you can always turn to The Marshall Project as a source of trustworthy journalism about the criminal justice system. But now police and prosecutors everywhere have a new argument to make, no matter the nature of their screw-up. In many cases, courts were already excusing mistakes of fact. In June, an appeals court in Minnesota excused a sheriff’s deputy who said a driver didn’t signal a lane change, when, the deputy’s dash-cam showed, the driver did. That same month, an appeals court in Wisconsin excused a sheriff’s deputy who stopped what he thought was a Pontiac Sunfire because the plates were registered to a Chevrolet Cavalier; it turned out, the car he pulled over was a Cavalier. Here’s a textbook example of a pretextual stop. At about 11 p.m., a Kansas City police officer saw a Chevrolet Malibu leave a “known narcotics house.” So the officer followed. He kept his tail until he saw the Malibu enter an intersection on a yellow light. “The vehicle was pretty much 50/50 on that white line” when the yellow light turned to red, the officer would later testify — and for the officer, 50/50 was good enough. He pulled the car over. After “evidently” getting the driver’s consent to search (“evidently” is the Court of Appeals’ word), the officer found a small glass pipe and a baggie of meth.The nation’s most memorable motoring scents have been captured in a new handy air freshener for drivers.
