It is of some comfort to those of us who live a special life, that our Supreme Court just ruled on the ability of the police to use a dog to detect drugs in our homes. In a time when it has been approved that a drug detection dog can be used in a car stop, and in an airport luggage search, a line has been drawn. Our Supreme Court just decided that the right to privacy in your home makes it illegal for the police to bring a dog to your front door. In a 5/4 decision the court said a dog is invading your privacy if the police bring him close to your home without a warrant. A Florida arrest and conviction was thrown out. Just another reason to own dogs, and not to smoke dope outside one's own home. Evan L.
