OH9: If the drug dog gets there before the paperwork is done, the sniff is fine

Defendant’s stop for a lane change violation was valid. A drug dog officer arrived before the paperwork was processed, so the stop was not continued for that. [So, as long as the drug dog arrives promptly, a dog sniff of the car is always appropriate?] State v. Davis, 2015-Ohio-4218, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 4109 (9th Dist. Oct. 13, 2015).

The collective knowledge of the officers justified the stop. The district court credited the testimony of the officers that there was valid consent without coercion. United States v. Roman, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 17923 (7th Cir. Oct. 15, 2015).*

The stop was justified by defendant stopping too far into the intersection before turning right on red. State v. Tharp, 2015-Ohio-4267, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 4152 (5th Dist. Oct. 13, 2015).*
