Would they have to prove you took illegal drugs with it (or were intending to) instead of tobacco?

I'm pretty sure they could tell enough give them probable cause to arrest you just by smelling it.

Which in turn implies that they could not smell it as otherwise they would have had probable cause and arressted him giving an entirely different story.....Hence you have just illustrated the NO STORY comment perfectly.

They gave him a warning, rather than arrest him. They could have arrested him but just warned him instead.

"He has been give a warning for the possession of the bong and we'll follow that up with the firearms officer as to whether we want to take it any further", Hedges said.
