[Cprb] police dogs and supreme court

[Cope Cumpston]

on Monday the supreme court agreed to hear a case on whether the police need
a special reason to subject a car they have stopped for at raffic violation
to a drug-sniffing dog (NYTimes story, 4/6) --

this is an appeal from our home state of Illinois where our very own supreme
court voted 4-3 that it's an unconstitutional broadening of the scope of a
routine traffic stop.

this is something that needs to be addressed locally, imho.
