City of Indianapolis v. Edmond — Rehnquist, J., Dissenting

Summary

Chief Justice Rehnquist, dissenting, argues that standardized roadblock seizures serve legitimate state interests like checking licenses and preventing drunk driving, making them constitutional under the Fourth Amendment despite the primary purpose of interdicting drugs. He contends the addition of a drug-sniffing dog does not transform the seizure into a search or add to the intrusion. Justice Thomas, dissenting, joins this opinion but expresses doubt about the precedent allowing suspicionless roadblock seizures.
