Do police have to have probable cause to call a K9 unit to a routine traffic stop? - k9 issues tooth implant
I was arrested, had a warning, I returned to my car and then the officer turned to me and asked me, because K9 was sought. Is this legal? Then, shortly before had said that I was ready to proceed.

You have two different questions, I will respond.
ReplyDeleteFirst question: Do you need a probable cause for the K-9?
You do not need a rational basis for a K-9 sniff during a routine visit. The U.S. Supreme Court, the lower expectation of privacy in a vehicle on a highway. Furthermore, they are not sniff an outer intrusive, it is not necessary for probable cause. The only requirement is that the dog will arrive within the normal stop. You can not arrest someone for the sole purpose of waiting to get a dog.
Second question: Can you stop after they were told they were free to go, too?
No, he can not. Once the process is finished, and he said that he was free to go, you now need to articulate to hold one more reason for you unless he asks, looking for acceptance.
If he says you're free, then want to leave. When he says, "Oh wait a minute" and claim to find your vehicle that does not have an option, or. If you do not answer then it is more so when a K-9 and request before a patrol car, unless you wait a ridiculous amount of time. That is more than an hour, but probably much less. When you are asked to do a search, but he believes it is likely to cause. If you stop every vehicle looking for a traffic offense, then there would be no time for anything else to call them all the paperwork after searching a vehicle.
ReplyDeletePerfectly legal, as long as the dog can not run around outside the car. No need for probable cause in this case because there is no expectation of privacy outside the car.
ReplyDeleteIf the agent is the most likely cause is that you can search your vehicle without your consent or a search warrant. See Carroll v. United States.

Yes and no. An officer in May at any time a K9 Unit for a walk around your vehicle. What we can do is an internal search of his vehicle without his consent or probable cause.
ReplyDeleteI do not know where you live, but officials in Florida, you can not leave your vehicle, unless you are arrested or suspected DUI.
