Great result for a great client. Kudos for the State in listening to our side and letting us over a period of almost three years convince them. Lots of work went into this result and shoutout to our Law Clerk Connor for assisting for years in work on this case.

From the Supreme Court opinion of the Day:

"During the traffic stop, a second officer used a drug detection dog to conduct a sniff around the exterior of the stopped
vehicle. In the course of the sniff around the exterior of the vehicle, the dog’s paws touched the passenger door, and the dog’s nose momentarily, almost imperceptibly, broke the plane of the passenger window." Imperceptibly --- love it. Dog's head went inside the car as the window was down.

Drug dog's nose briefly went inside the vehicle. SC said that does not violate the US or State constitutions. If you are asked to exit a vehicle for a drug dog walkaround, can you first put your windows up?

The other issue was whether the stop of the vehicle was valid. Dirty plate. SC said that it was not legible. That is a valid stop. Lesson: Clean your plates.
