Explain how the Supreme Court applies the Fourth Amendment for canine searches. Briefly describe the differences when canines conduct searches outside an individual’s home compared to when searches occur near an individual’s car on a public street.

What will be an ideal response?


Example should indicate that canine sniffs are allowed under the Fourth Amendment in public, for example, when drug sniffing dogs are used during traffic stops or at airport security. There are different expectations of privacy at home compared to an airport or a public street. The court decided that the use of dogs to alert for drugs at vehicle stops is constitutional, however, to investigate a home or the surrounding area a warrant is required.
