Following up on an anonymous tip, police officers enter an apartment building through an unlocked door with a drug-sniffing dog in tow. The cops’ canine companion bee-lines for an apartment door, ostensibly because it smells illegal substances inside.
Could a valid search warrant be issued to search the apartment or would that infringe upon the tenant’s Fourth Amendment rights?
Counsel of Petitioner: Jonathan Schloth ’25 and Daniella Sesto ’25.
