The People of the State of Colorado v. Edwin Liaon Bailey

Summary

The court reversed the trial court's order suppressing evidence found in Bailey's car. It held that the totality of the circumstances, including a certified narcotics-detection dog's behavioral alert during an exterior sniff, gave the troopers probable cause to search the car under the automobile exception. The absence of a final canine indication did not make the initial alert irrelevant. No separate opinions were issued.
