Based on my observations (news reports, local chatter, etc) it seems that every state that borders a state with legal Cannabis does this. Idaho does this very frequently (since just about every border is a legal source). They take advantages of the bottlenecks on highways and have cameras and/or officers there.

If it is Flock, interagency communications, license plate readers or just "enhanced stops" for things like a crack in the windshield.

People seem to forget that while buying in one state is legal it actually can become a much larger crime than just possession as soon as you cross state lines. It "can" become a federal matter...

They did this in my state, and now that other state has been legal for over a year and a half, but the cameras are all still there

		North Idaho started adding license plate readers and cameras back in the early 2k's using funding given out after 9/11. Locally there was a recent pushback on them and the sheriff basically said "They've been there forever" and "Don't worry...it's just us with the footage"

They are making an assumption that someone is buying when they go into the dispensary. Not necessarily the case. They aren't compelled to buy anything when entering.

		Which if you know that's the case, it's a good way to f*ck with the police. Travel to the dispensary and be empty handed when the search comes. After 2-3 searches you file a cease-and-desist.
