Reasonable Suspicion to stop, yes. The search? Not so much. X_Digger May 2014 #11

A drug dog alert is PC to search JJChambers May 2014 #20

She was trafficking marijuana; apparently their reasonable suspicion was reasonable JJChambers May 2014 #22

Which isn't an answer to my question. What was the RS for the drug dog? X_Digger May 2014 #23

I read it prior to this forum discussion; seems reasonable to me, and to the court, too. JJChambers May 2014 #24

And what was the PC for calling the k-9 unit and detaining the person until then? (A search, btw.) X_Digger May 2014 #41

You should quit before you dig yourself deeper into your hole JJChambers May 2014 #42

Detaining a motorist to wait for a dog is a search, absent specific RS. X_Digger May 2014 #45

You omit this: Vattel May 2014 #13

It adds to reasonable suspicion; I thought the search was the result of a drug dog alert ? JJChambers May 2014 #19

Yes, but the use of the dog was itself a search. Vattel May 2014 #29

Actually running a dog around the exterior isn't a search and if the dog alerts JJChambers May 2014 #35

Nope. It depends on the circumstances. Vattel May 2014 #36
