• holding seven-hour delay went beyond “brevity” required under Fourth Amendment
• refusing to apply Leon 's good-faith exception to justify search of luggage with a warrant when the warrant was predicated on an illegal seizure of that luggage to conduct a dog sniff
• seven-hour seizure of suitcase unreasonable, especially given that officers did not make every effort to minimize the length of the delay
• seven hour delay found to have gone beyond the \brevity\ required for a Place seizure
• seven-hour delay rendered seizure unreasonable in the absence of probable cause
• “In Place, the Supreme Court held that subjecting luggage to a ‘canine sniff’ does not constitute a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment because both the manner of obtaining information and the information actually obtained are so limited.”
