However, state officials say law enforcement are not
targeting those drivers.

4.  "It's a little ridiculous for them to have free roam of
everything and anything,” said Tim Bauer, who gets angrier
the more he talks about his recent drive across Nebraska.
“That's really not good use of time when you have 5-or-6
officers walking around one place. How many vehicles
went by that actually were carrying drugs while we were
standing there?”

5.  The Wisconsin man has a place outside Grand Junction,
Colorado. This spring, when he was driving back home and
crossed into western Nebraska on Interstate 80 – his 12-
week old puppy needed a restroom break. He pulled off the
interstate and parked on the base of an entrance ramp. The
Nebraska State Patrol pulled up behind him.

6.  Troopers informed him that it's illegal to park on the
entrance ramp. Law enforcement had probable cause to
stop him. "They told me they were going to run a drug dog
around my truck,” said Bauer. For an hour investigators
poured through his truck and trailer. “They proceeded to
search the whole vehicle and got done. They told me they
didn't find anything and I could leave. No 'Sorry' or 'Sorry
for wasting your time.' No 'Sorry for the embarrassment.'”
Tim Bauer wondered, how many others with out-of-state
plates have gone through the same thing?

7.  "I changed my focus to that,” said Omaha criminal defense
attorney Dan Stockmann, who saw such an increase in
cases in the last year, he now specializes in representing
those arrested for drugs along Interstate 80 in Nebraska –
most are from out-of-state. "We're talking Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New York,
Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Georgia."

8.  Stockmann admits that some of those arrests are 20-year-
old male college students who pooled their money together
to buy weed in Colorado to sell back at college. But he adds
-- many of the people arrested have user amounts -- they're
not dealers.

9.  "The conflict of law problem we're having between
Colorado and Nebraska -- is really highlighted when you
talk about the medical marijuana client -- such as the
Coloradan with Crohn's Disease - has a prescription for it
and brings it back east to visit relatives are friends,”
explained Stockmann. “She thinks she's doing nothing
wrong like bring Oxycontin or Hydrocodone with her like
we would if we had a valid prescription. Only it's illegal
here."

10.  We asked Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson -- the
state's top law enforcer who has sued Colorado over the
differing drug laws -- whether law enforcement is targeting
out-of-state plates. "I don't think that's true,” he told me in a
phone call from his office in Lincoln. He added that
"individual out-of-state license plates are not used as
criteria" when making a traffic stop. So what do the
numbers say? The Nebraska State Patrol provided data for
the last year-and-a-half to WOWT 6 News.

11.  We analyzed the spreadsheets and found that for the first 6-
months of 2015, 56% of the citations issued by troopers for
possession and the sale of drugs went to those with out-of-
state licenses. For the same time period, Nebraskans
received 44% of the drug citations from the Nebraska State
Patrol. For those wondering if the out-of-state tickets are
going to Colorado drivers, we analyzed the data and found
that 9% of the total tickets for drugs issued by the Nebraska
State Patrol were written residents of The Rocky Mountain
State. Colorado drivers received 16% of the tickets issued
to out-of-state drivers.

– before Colorado loosened its recreational marijuana laws.
From January through June of 2014, out-of-state licenses
accounted for 49% of the drug citations from the Nebraska
State Patrol. Nebraskans received 51% of the tickets.

13.  “Criminal interdiction including the removal of drugs from
our roadways is something the Nebraska State Patrol has
always done as part of its regular law enforcement
activities,” a spokeswoman wrote to WOWT 6 News.
Many metro law enforcement agencies have also monitored
I-80 for years.

14.  Reporter: "You think [out-of-state drivers] are being
profiled?”
 Attorney Dan Stockmann: "I think it's hard to get through
Nebraska with out-of-state plates without getting a look
from law enforcement."

15.  We know where Tim Bauer of Wisconsin stands on this. “I
think they're going overboard in their search for drugs.”
Bauer, who received a written warning his last trip for
parking on an entrance ramp, did not get stopped going
through Nebraska on this trip back to Colorado.
