  • holding that “a person’s nervous demeanor during . . . an encounter is of limited significance in establishing the presence of reasonable suspicion”
  • holding that the dog alert, which provided probable cause to search the defendant's vehicle, did not provide probable cause to arrest and search the defendant for possession of contraband
  • “The dog’s detection of the odor of drugs did not automatically 16 justify probable cause to arrest Gibson unless there were additional factors to connect that odor with him.”
  • “[P]ersonal searches of vehicle occupants are not authorized under the automobile exception as a result of the occupant’s mere presence within a vehicle, which there is probable cause to search.”
  • officer had probable cause to believe that there were drugs in the automobile and conducted a warrantless search after a drug dog indicated that an automobile contained a controlled substance odor
  • “The standard of probable cause involves the same quantum of evidence regardless of whether an arrest or a search is involved,” but “the facts needed to justify a search are different from those needed to justify a seizure.”
