Searching you is a right that the
cops in Amsterdam don't have.
In more detail: an individual may have up to 30 grams of "soft drugs" (cannabis products, weed, hashish, marijuana). A coffeeshop may sell these products to individuals, but no more than 5 grams per customer (who must be 18 years or older) per day.
Your statement "searching you is a right that the cops in Amsterdam don't have" is NOT true. Under certain conditions they may search people.
