How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that officers did not violate the defendant’s right to privacy by detecting the odor of marijuana from the front porch where the porch was not enclosed by a fence and was open to public access
- finding even without evidence of a dog sniff, an officer smelling marijuana from a house demonstrates sufficient probable cause to support the issuance of a warrant
- finding independent evidence in the affidavit to support probable cause because the anonymous ■ tip was corroborated when the detective smelled marijuana while standing in front of the premises, prior to returning the next day with the drug dog
- anonymous tip coupled with officers’ detection of marijuana odor emanating from residence provided sufficient probable cause to support the issuance of a search warrant
- “We follow those cases which hold that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy at the entrance of property which is open to the public, including the front porch.”
- officer walked from sidewalk to the home and smelled marijuana
