New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Jessie Dunn, Appellant
November 29, 199077 N.Y.2d 19
Summary
The Court held that a canine sniff conducted outside a defendant's apartment does not constitute a search under the Fourth Amendment, but does constitute a search under New York's Constitution article I, §12; however, such a search is permissible with only reasonable suspicion, so the convictions were affirmed.
