…Supreme Court justices will now rule on the constitutionality of Drug Sniffing Dogs.

This seems absurd to me. Police are perfectly within their rights to ask to search the inside of someone’s trunk if that person is pulled over and they’re given reasonable cause to believe that another crime has been committed. The dog didn’t illegally search the trunk, he picked up itty bitty little particles that had flown out of the trunk. That’s how noses work. Once the marijuana fumes were outside the car, the police dog wasn’t being used for an illegal search, it was monitoring public airspace!

(Also, the line later, suggesting that the man shouldn’t have been pulled over since he was speeding by only “a mere 6 m.p.h.” is stupid. The speed limit is a pretty well defined limit. It’s not “65 m.p.h., more or less,” it’s 65 m.p.h. period. Why do people feel entitled to break the law if they’re “only breaking it a little?”)
