How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding the reliance on rulings from other states alone did not “satisfy our specific requirements” for conducting independent constitutional analysis
  • reiterating that “in order for this Court to undertake an independent state constitutional analysis, the appellant must ‘use a precise and analytically sound approach and provide us with the proper arguments and briefs to ensure the future growth of this important area of law.’”
  • declining to address issues concerning drug dog's reliability and State's foundation for that reliability on conditional plea appeal where issue was not raised in motion to suppress
  • “Morgan was not subjected to a search protected by the Fourth Amendment when [law enforcement] ordered the canine sniff of his vehicle.”
  • appellant waived right to argue a lack of probable cause and failure to establish foundation for reliability of the drug dog where appellant limited the suppression motion to whether an exterior dog sniff constituted a search
