Was the dog sniff evidence admissible to obtain the search warrant?
Officer Pedraja obtained a warrant to search Jardines's house for marijuana, based on a crime stoppers tip, a dog sniff (by a dog who was previously reliable) conducted at the door of Jardines's house alerting for marijuana, and the fact that the air-conditioning unit of the residence ran continuously without recycling. Jardines argued that the dog sniff was a through-the-door intrusion into the privacy of his home and a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

A batch of letter-sized airmail envelopes—from a country well known as a source of narcotics—that are bulky and much heavier than ordinary airmail letters, are stopped at the Post Office in New York. A U.S. Customs Inspector opens the letters and finds heroin. No search warrant was sought. Would this be considered an illegal search and seizure?
a. Yes, because there was no probable cause to link the envelopes to any specific crime, smuggling or otherwise. b. No, because it constitutes a "border search" and anything crossing the border falls within this exception. c. No, but only because "probable cause" was not articulated and a search warrant was not obtained. d. No, it would only be admissible with a warrant or with consent, regardless of the border issue, since it involved the U.S. Mail.
