"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Maybe the SCOTUS needs a refresher on the Fourth Amendment.

"Maybe the SCOTUS needs a refresher on the Fourth Amendment."

Since they have no concern for the rights of Americans, perhaps we can strap them each to a gurney and make them listen to "The Constitution" audio book at about 100 decibels over and over again for 72 hours straight.

The key word in the 4th Amendment is "unreasonable". You have absolutely no expectation of privacy in the air around your vehicle. Therefore, there is no violation if a dog sniffs the air around your vehicle while the cops are writing you a ticket.

The result might be different if the cops refuse to let you leave until a dog arrives. In that case, the cops would need some kind of probable cause or reasonable suspicion before they could hold you longer than a normal traffic stop.

I think you're the one that needs to study the 4th Amendment. This ruling is consistent with many prior decisions. I'll bet even the ACLU wasn't surprised with this ruling.

Hm. I was thinking more like the Second. A thorough refresher.
