US CA: Editorial: Scalia Gets It Right
Los Angeles Times, 27 Mar 2013 – In a Case Involving a Search by a Drug-Sniffing Dog, the Supreme Court Sides With the Homeowner.

Writing for a 5-4 majority, Scalia came down hard on police in Florida who, without having obtained a warrant, deployed a drug-sniffing dog at a homeowner’s front door.

This is at least the third time the county has taken such action, but at some point the county, along with entire state, is going to have to make some serious decisions on marijuana, especially medical marijuana. Cities are also in limbo.

Butte County Supervisor Larry Wahl threw a fit Tuesday at a board meeting. We certainly hope that’s out of his system, because the inappropriate eruption could be repeated several times a month if Wahl is looking for openings to keep rehashing an old issue.
