The courts have always considered a search of a car different from one of a home. There are restrictions on warrentless searches, but those restrictions were not an issue in this case. The only issue before the Supreme Court was if the dog’s alerting created a reasonable belief that drugs might be there. Their ruling was that it MIGHT, but that a court needs to look at the total situation rather than focus on just one area.
On 9-0 decision, there probably isn’t much controversy involved.
And that is complete bullcrap. I have personally stood up to bad Supreme Court decisions - in federal court - and been proven right by subsequent SCOUTS decisions. And you are a slimy apologist for bad court decisions. A dog sniffing a car without any probable cause is no different than a cop kicking down a door of a house without such. You should be ashamed of yourself, but apologists for a police state have no shame.
That may depend on the court involved; NM, for example, considers the vehicle to be an extension of the domicile [home].
