SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

RODRIGUEZ v. UNITED STATES
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
No. 13–9972. Argued January 21, 2015—Decided April 21, 2015
I bring this up because a couple posts talked about an officer wanting to search your MH. An officer must have probable cause to search without permission, without this permission anything found is inadmissible in court. Refusing permission to search is not probable cause.
The recent USSC case I referenced actually pertains to an officer forcing a driver to wait while a "drug dog" is brought in to sniff for drugs. Rodriguez was stopped for a traffic offence but let off with a warning but forced to wait for a "drug dog" that alerted on the vehicle. Yes, drugs were found but the USSC ruled the offender should have been allowed to go as soon as the reason for the original stop was resolved. Jim.
And nobody said anything different if you were referring to me.
