I guess we all know which way the court will be deciding when probes and sensors are devised that can peer into your house.

What a sad day for freedom..... what little freedom remains, you mean.
I have friends from other countries, a few have settled here, and without fail, they remark "You Americans think you are free. Maybe once you were, but now, you live in a police state that rivals that of East Germany."

What happens when the dog sniffs out the drugs that is said to be found on our money?
Will they take the couple hundred bucks I carry and confiscate my car, seize my home?

Pretty Sad, when the only justices on the CONSERVATIVE side, are Ginsburg, and Souter.

Sheeesh....they basically just vacated the right to decline when they "ask" if they can search your car. The cops can say you "acted nervous" (who doesn't, when getting pulled over??) and bring in the dog. Dishonest ones can toss a roach in the car...

This court, along with too many of our otherwise upstanding citizens, will tolerate any police state measure if is invoked in the "War On Drugs."

Good point. At the very least that gives them "probable cause" for a greater search.

Judges need to get out in the real world a little more.
Surrounded by a Praetorian Guard of police officers who all treat them so nice, no wonder they allow law enforcement more and more leeway - aren't all cops like the nice, respectful, good men that drive them around from place to place in their SUVs?

Can't say I like this ruling...... The Ruling Class has decided that there's no such thing as 'Unreasonable' search.
No-suspicion searches, even with a dog, are PRECISELY what the 4th amendment was written to prevent.
American liberty has long been very sick, but I was surprised to see yet another near-death-spasm. It's really all over but the outright revocation of the BoR; the confiscation of the guns; the outright suppression of free speech...
To: Lazamataz
Okay, so in this case the dog was used while the defendant was "lawfully seized in a traffic violation." How long before dogs are used at the drunk-driving roadblocks, where everyone is seized with no probable cause? How long until cops have the dogs stroll around shopping center parking lots? Still slip-sliding down that slippery slope...and the defenders of this crap will only scream bloody murder when it's THEY who are inconvenienced.

You are free to submit... Is this what Bush means by ''freedom''?... hardly worth fighting for.
