What is going on with the Surpreme Court????? If a guy gets stopped for speeding and "seems nervous", it gives the police a right to call out the dogs to smell search him? Say goodbye to privacy.

The cops cannot hold a "nervous" driver after a ticket is written until a dog arrives. That's a seisure without probable cause (acting nervous doesn't justify holding you after the time needed to write a ticket). But, if a dog is present and sniffs the car while the driver is being written a ticket, that's OK. The cops are allowed to hold you while they are writing the ticket, and the dog simply sniffs the air around your car.
