Bermuda enacted powers to stop and search people reasonably suspected of possessing illicit drugs, and vehicles, vessels or aircraft suspected of carrying them, without a warrant. Officers had to justify the reasonableness of their conduct. A later inquiry into the 1968 disturbances said the law was being interpreted too widely in marijuana policing.[1][2]
