The weed would have been perfectly legal if in the trunk or otherwise "not readily available".
The article makes it sound like the road side penalties are it. They are not. He could (and probably WILL) end up with a $10,000 fine, 6 months in jail and a 2 year suspension. Will also cost him around $1,200 to get his car out of impound. Be as much as another $2,000 for the careless driving and $200 for the pot. His annual insurance just went up to about the cost of Denmark's GNP!
