When the Miami-Dade County (Florida) Police Department received an anonymous tip that Joelis Jardines was growing marijuana in his home, they sent Franky, a chocolate Labrador trained to sniff out illegal drugs, to verify. After circling for a few minutes on Jardines' front porch, Franky sat down near the front door. This was a signal to the two officers on the scene that the dog smelled something suspicious. Relying on Franky's expertise, the officers obtained permission from a judge to search Jardines' home. They found nearly 180 marijuana plants having an estimated street value of about $700,000. Jardines claimed that the officers had violated his right to privacy and the Supreme Court agreed. "The police cannot . . . hang around on the lawn or in the side garden, trawling for evidence
