Supreme Court Faces New “Unconstitutional” Case – And It’s the Strangest Thing You’ll See Today

What’s Happening:

“Don’t put your paws on my property,” has a whole new meaning after a recent state Supreme Court ruling. Police are always looking for ways to nail drug dealers and police dogs have proven to be great tools for sniffing out drug crimes.

People can hide drugs from view, but they often get caught thanks to a police dog’s sniffer. The scent of drugs in the air can be picked quickly by K-9 cops. What happens when the sniffer reveals drugs, but the K-9 oversteps its legal boundaries? That is the question that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide.

Can it get more silly that this? Judges ruled that the K-9’s pounce onto the car door constituted a “warrantless search.” It was a 3-2 ruling by the higher court that stated while police K-9s are free to sniff the air around a given vehicle, they are not allowed to attempt to get inside the vehicle without a warrant. it now goes to SCOTUS.
