The warrantless use of a drug-detection dog at the threshold of Defendant's apartment door, which is properly considered the curtilage of his apartment, violated his 4th amendment rights. The good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule does not apply. (GARMAN, BURKE, THEIS, and NEVILLE, concurring; KARMEIER< dissenting; THOMAS and KARMEIER, dissenting.)
