Question 40

using the drug detection dog on the porch constitute search?

Answer 40

bringing a drug-sniffing dog to the front porch of a home for the purpose of searching for drugs is a “search” under the fourth amendment.

Although the front door is typically held open under implied consent doctrine, the use of a drug-sniffing dog exceeds this consent and is therefore a trespass.

Curtilage is the area immediately around a home and is intimately tied with the activities of the home. Areas that are not curtilage are considered “open fields”.

Sensory Enhancing Technology

However, even in the open fields, the government action is a “search” if they use “sensory enhancing technology” not available to the general public. Here, a drugsniffing dog may meet this test (a plurality of the Supreme Court feels it does). Thus, even if the dog were kept in open fields, the use of a drug dog would still constitute a search
