The smell of marijuana was an exigent circumstance for an entry coupled with the defendant\u2019s knowledge the officers smelled it. United States v. Staley, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 50901 (M.D. Ala. March 15, 2013).*<\/p>\n

Reasonable suspicion was present to extend the stop to get a drug dog to the scene. Defendant\u2019s refusal to consent (albeit vague and ambiguous and sometimes a partial consent), is not considered at all, and the police couldn\u2019t. United States v. Williams, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 50782 (M.D. N.C. April 9, 2013).*<\/p>\n

Any failure to properly announce before entry is not a ground to suppress under Michigan v. Hudson. The search of defendant\u2019s trash at the curb was reasonable. Any failure to comply with the inventory requirement (something not really proved) would not be a constitutional error without prejudice to the accused, and there can\u2019t be any. United States v. Barker, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 50376 (D. Minn. March 25, 2013).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
