Supreme Court to rule on whether drug-sniffing dogs violate 4th Amendment
• The RawStory.comThe US Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear a case to determine whether the use of police dogs sniffing for drugs outside homes is a violation of the constitutional rights of the residents.
I'm sure the Supreme Court of the United States will first and foremost be out in front of protecting our Rights. Don't you think so? :-D
This is a no-brainer: If the dogs are on private property and no search warrant has been issued, this would surely be a violation of the Constitution. (There should be exceptions if there is honest probable cause for the dogs to be employed: Sadly, probable cause is a highly subjective "catch-all" excuse that is often abused by law enforcement to cover their blatant disregard for the civil and human rights of various citizen's.)
These days, it's hard to read the courts: There is no telling what the outcome will be.
