The Illinois Supreme Court has decided that the smell of raw cannabis is enough for police to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41537177/research-finds-no-clear-correlation-between-blood-thc-and-driving-skills">search a vehicle. </a>
The ruling, which contrasts with an earlier decision that the smell of burnt cannabis is not enough for a search, has sparked legal and public debate over how cannabis laws are applied in the state, the Chicago Tribune <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/05/police-may-search-a-vehicle-based-on-the-smell-of-raw-cannabis-illinois-supreme-court-rules/">reported.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Two Cases, Two Different Outcomes</h3>
The decision stems from a case involving Vincent Molina, a passenger in a car stopped for speeding on I-88 near the Illinois-Iowa border in December 2020.

A state trooper claimed to smell cannabis through the open window, prompting a search that uncovered several joints and cannabis stored in a sealed box. While Illinois legalized small amounts of cannabis in 2020, Molina was charged with improper transport for not using an odor-proof container.
Initially, a court ruled the search unjustified. However, an appeals court reversed that decision, leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36593012/is-cannabis-odor-sufficient-cause-for-a-legal-vehicle-search-illinois-supreme-court-will-decide">the state Supreme Court's involvement.</a> The court ruled that the smell of raw cannabis strongly suggests a violation of Illinois law, which requires cannabis in vehicles to be stored in an odor-proof container.
In a separate case heard by the court, People v. Ryan Redmond, the justices ruled that the smell of burnt cannabis doesn't justify a vehicle search, as it could simply indicate prior use outside the vehicle.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Confusion Over Legal Standards</h3>
This split in rulings has drawn criticism. Justice Mary K. O'Brien, joined by Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, dissented in the Molina case. "It makes no sense to treat raw cannabis as more probative when the odor of burnt cannabis may suggest recent use, whereas the odor of raw cannabis does not suggest consumption," O'Brien wrote.
Meanwhile, defense attorney James Mertes, stated: "This means that the privacy rights of motorists in Illinois have been turned over to the police officer's sense of smell," Mertes said. He plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Legislative Puzzle</h3>
Adding to the confusion,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31607966/wait-officer-weed-smell-no-longer-cause-for-vehicle-search-in-illinois-as-senate-approves-bill"> Illinois lawmakers previously removed</a> the odor-proof container requirement from the cannabis legalization law but left it in the vehicle code. The state Supreme Court suggested this legal mismatch needs fixing.
"I am discouraged by the Illinois Supreme Court's decision, but I am encouraged to now ask that this matter be decided by the United States Supreme Court," Molina said in a statement.

Police Can Search Cars For Raw Cannabis Smell, Illinois Supreme Court Says

The National Football League is enjoying strong viewership for the 2024 season with some records set on Thanksgiving Day, news that streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) likely welcomes as the company may be nervous after struggles with its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action"> live boxing event.</a>
What Happened: While many people will be opening presents and enjoying time with families on Christmas Day, many will also tune into Netflix for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38850110/netflix-to-stream-2-nfl-christmas-day-games-analyst-sees-strong-growth-potential">two exclusive NFL games</a>, similar to how they celebrated on Thanksgiving.
Netflix will stream its first-ever live NFL games on Christmas with two key matchups that could once again highlight the streaming giant's growth in sports.
At 1 p.m. ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs game will stream on Netflix, followed by the 4:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
NFL viewership has been good for the 2024 season, which could be good and bad for Netflix as the company struggled during its recent live boxing event that featured a headline match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Netflix reported that over 60 million homes tuned into the boxing event, with a peak of 65 million. That event saw hundreds of thousands of people report issues with the stream and a class action lawsuit filed against the company.
The NFL recently <a href="https://media.nfl.com/news-and-releases/corporate-communications/2024-thanksgiving-day-games-set-viewership-records">reported </a>the three games that aired on Thanksgiving set a new all-time record, with data dating back to 1988. The three games had 141 million viewers, a new record and an average of 34.2 million viewers per game, another record.
The early game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears on CBS, a unit of Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), set a record with 37.5 million viewers, the highest average for the early Thanksgiving Day game.
The midday game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants on FOX, a unit of Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most watched Thanksgiving Day game ever and fifth most watched regular season NFL game ever.

Why It's Important: Thanksgiving Day games have long been highly watched given the event-driven nature of the games on a holiday with people off work and watching games together.
This could be similar on Christmas, which means Netflix could be in store for high viewership for its inaugural NFL games.
For comparison, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has the exclusive streaming rights to Thursday Night Football games and is averaging 13.3 million viewers for those games this season, up 8% year-over-year.
Amazon also streamed an exclusive game on Black Friday for the second straight year. The matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/amazons-nfl-black-friday-game-ratings-up-41-from-2023/">averaged </a>13.51 million viewers, up 41% year-over-year.
The high viewership, which is above Amazon's average, came with a close battle and the Chiefs surviving a last-minute push from the Raiders. The Chiefs are the most-watched NFL team this season, having some of the more popular games and the highest average across national television games.
For Netflix the odds are likely stacked for and against the company to have huge viewership, the big question is if the company can handle the demand and show the games without the same troubles it had during the boxing event.
The Chiefs (11-1), Steelers (9-3), Ravens (8-5) and Texans (8-5) are among the best teams in the NFL with each team ranking first or second in their division and all four teams currently in the NFL Playoffs if the season ended today.
The Texans game will also feature a halftime performance from Beyoncé, adding in potential non-football fan viewership on the holiday.
Add it all up and you have two games with top NFL teams, a holiday where people watch sports together, a halftime performance from a global superstar, a game with the top-watched team in the NFL and the potential of Taylor Swift to be present at the Chiefs game and you have must-see television and sports.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed up 0.75% to $917.87 on Thursday after hitting new all-time highs of $927 during the intraday. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.

Strategic Updates in preparation for Nasdaq uplisting
<ul>
<li>Name Change: Over the last year and a half, CEO Bill Bennett and his team have dramatically changed the focus and business model of the Company. These actions have included divesting, inactivating, or shutting down eight previously operating entities within the corporate structure, while simultaneously launching a new large retail business and new customers within its drop ship business. Accordingly, the Company will rebrand as Harvest Group Holdings, Inc. to reflect its growth strategy and new focus. The new name underscores IVFH's commitment to its vision of delivering fresh and artisanal products from as close to the source as possible, while still being a broad enough brand to encompass the many growth opportunities ahead. The Company website, logo, and other Company branding will be updated over the coming weeks after the finalization of the name change.</li>
<li>Reverse Stock Split: The Board and the holders of a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding stock have authorized a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio between one-for-three and one-for-seven, which may enable the Company's share price to meet the stock price element of the initial listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq").</li>
<li>Private Placement Financing: Under the SPA, the Company will issue 2,031,250 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share, raising gross proceeds of $3.25 million. The capital raised will be used to enhance working capital and fund general corporate purposes. This modest raise, largely from Company insiders, is intended to help the Company continue to lean into its growth opportunities, and meet the minimum shareholder equity requirements of Nasdaq.</li>
<li>Nasdaq Uplisting: With the above actions, the Company management believes the Company is in a strong position to navigate the uplisting process, which it is kicking off in earnest. Pending all necessary approvals, the Company hopes to complete the uplisting process in the first half of 2025.</li>

Rubrik Stock Jumps On Strong Q3 Print: Key Details

Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNE#NYSE">GNE</a>), a leading retail energy and renewable energy solutions provider, today provided an update on its consumer insurance initiative.
Earlier his year, the company announced an initiative to expand its consumer products portfolio with insurance offerings, and formed a wholly-owned, "captive" self-insurance subsidiary to enhance the Company's risk management strategy.
"To date, we have secured insurance broker licenses in seven key states and begun to offer third-party insurance solutions through our existing sales channels to our customer base," said Genie's CEO, Michael Stein. "We expect the economics of our offerings to strengthen gradually as we build out and bring to market internally-generated consumer offerings in the coming months."
Genie also announced that has expanded the coverage provided to the company through its captive insurance subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Genie expects to pay its subsidiary approximately $40 million in premiums for expanded insurance coverage to address various additional risks.
As required by GAAP, Genie expects to record a non-recurring, non-cash charge of approximately $31 million in the fourth quarter as an insurance loss reserve related to the expanded coverage. This loss reserve will be reflected in Genie's fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results under GAAP. However, the Company does not expect this charge to impact its reported measure of Adjusted EBITDA.
The $40 million in premium payments made to the Captive will remain on Genie's consolidated balance sheet within its reported measures of short and long-term restricted cash, and other short and long-term assets. The funds will be available for investment by the Captive as determined by Genie management to support Genie Energy's strategic objectives consistent with regulations and the Captive's position.
Genie reported Genie reported cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term restricted cash, and marketable equity securities of $191.7 million as of September 30, 2024.

Ride-share and delivery company Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) has some Christmas deliveries that could help provide a publicity and sales bump as the stock faces pressure from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41259841/uber-vs-tesla-maybe-not-analysts-say-autonomous-vehicles-will-be-market-expanding">autonomous driving companies</a>.
What Happened: If you're one of the Americans who prefer having a real Christmas tree each year, but don't have the time to go buy one in person, Uber could have the solution for you along with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42347476/uber-and-toast-join-forces-to-boost-delivery-reach-for-us-restaurants">growing list of restaurant food</a> it will deliver to your home.
Uber is expanding its on-demand Christmas tree ordering, a service it launched in 2015 and has optimized on and off over the years, The Verge <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24313074/uber-christmas-tree-delivery-carolers-courier-carseat">reported</a>.
The company partners with local vendors and for 2024 has expanded the offering nationwide. Uber drivers will bring a fresh-cut Christmas tree to homes and also a selection of Christmas decorations like wreaths. The service can be booked through the Uber Eats app.
While Uber users nationwide can get a Christmas tree delivered, only select cities will have access to the newest holiday "delivery."
Uber will send groups of carolers to homes in New York City, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Washington D.C. starting on Dec. 7. Uber partnered with alcohol company Diageo on the carolers launch as the company and carolers will also bring you a holiday boozy treat as part of the partnership.

Why It's Important: While Uber offering Christmas trees and carolers might not scream revenue growth, it could be a good way to promote the company's expansion outside of just ride share or simply delivering restaurant foods to homes.
Uber is also rebranding its same-day delivery service from Uber Connect to Uber Courier. The service offers deliveries of packages with PIN verification to confirm delivery and live trip tracking.
The company is also expanding its car seat offering to more cities, potentially providing more safety features for parents with small children looking for alternative transportation.
The launch comes as Uber is facing competition from autonomous driving in larger cities and could face more competition from Tesla's future robotaxi launch.
Uber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42348287/whats-going-on-with-uber-shares-thursday">stock fell Thursday </a>on news that Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) owned Waymo is launching in Miami in 2026.
Waymo will launch with human safety drivers in the city in 2025 with rides offered without safety drivers in 2026 as part of the company's robotaxi service.
UBER Price Action: Uber stock is down 10% to $65.32 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $54.84 to $87.00. Uber stock is up 11.9% year-to-date in 2024.
