Court okays dog searches in traffic stop case
The Illinois case involves Nicholas Caballes who faced drug trafficking charges after a drug dog alerted in his trunk during a routine stop for air freshener. Initially overturned by the state high court for lack of suspicion, the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that a dog sniff of a car exterior is not an improper search, sending the matter back for Illinois to proceed.
