Is a search conducted by a sniffer dog not a search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Van Vo, F066758 (Cal. App. 2014):
Having failed to assert in the trial court that the canine sniff was a search, Vo is precluded from raising this issue on appeal. (People v. Williams, supra, 20 Cal.4th at pp. 130-131.) Regardless, Vo's contention fails on the merits.
