A Raleigh Criminal Lawyer’s Challenge: Is Fido’s Sniff Performance Up To Snuff?

"In these cases a professional Raleigh criminal lawyer will argue that the police did not have “probable cause” to conduct a warrantless search violating an individual’s rights under the Fourth Amendment. To put it simply, an officer must have legal reason to believe that a person may be committing a crime.

Police K9 drug detection units are used to provide such “probable cause.” If a dog responds or “cues” on a suspect’s person or property, the officer is justified to search without a warrant. The suspect can protest, but it is not likely to be effective since most states have given this power to law enforcement."

A Raleigh Criminal Lawyer Can Help You Avoid the Sex Offender Registry

Probable Cause
For a professional Raleigh criminal lawyer, the term “probable cause” comes up often. To put it simply, an officer has legal reason to believe that a person may be committing a crime.

Police dogs, for the record, are simply part of the “probable cause” equation. They, alone, don’t justify a warrantless search or arrest. However, if the dogs respond to something illicit inside a car or package, its handler should ask the person if he can search the vehicle. The person can actually say no to this, but it doesn’t always work.

Saying “no” to a warrantless search while inside a car has a lesser rate of success, all the more if the car refused to stop despite the officer’s orders. In this case, the officer has legal reason to believe that there’s something in the car the person doesn’t want the cops to find out. As cars drive along public roads, “public view” strengthens the justification for a warrantless search.
