What I don't get is why isn't the dog
"search" considered a search?
I mean, if you don't concede to a search and they don't have probably cause, how can they have a dog then search your car?
It seems like having a dog search and smell around your car would constitute a search by every legal definition?
And this would be a breach of your rights against illegal search?
What am I missing?
- wnevets 11y agoThe dog smells the outside of the car (the public part) and if the dog "finds" something they have probably cause.
- ssanders82 11y agoIt's the same as if the cop looked through the window and saw a baggie full of weed on the dashboard. Anything which is exposed (sights/sounds/smells) to the outside world isn't considered a search.
