Citation
Case Number: 
No. 107276
Decision Date: 
Thursday, March 24, 2011
District: 
5th Dist.
Division/County: 
Adams Co.
Holding: 
Appellate court affirmed; remanded.
Justice: 
KARMEIER
Defendant was stopped for having parked her truck illegally on sidewalk. Dog sniff revealed presence of methamphetamine. Dog sniff is not a search within meaning of fourth amendment, and conducting a "set-up procedure", by ordering a defendant to roll up her vehicle windows and turn the ventilation air blowers on high, before conducting the dog sniff at the exterior of the vehicle, is not sufficiently intrusive to compromise any legitimate interest in privacy. (KILBRIDE, THOMAS, and GARMAN, concurring; FREEMAN, BURKE, and THEIS, dissenting.)
