  • having a trained dog sniff the perimeter of the vehicle in a public place does not constitute a search
  • upholding search of pretrial detainee’s cell on basis that defendant did not have an expectation of privacy in his jail cell
  • no search when officers conduct dog-sniff of perimeter of car lawfully stopped in public place
  • “When the dog ‘alerted positive’ for the presence of drugs, the officer was given probable cause for the search that followed.”
  • drug dog’s positive alert gave officer probable cause for the ensuing search of defendant’s automobile
