Los Angeles Times, 31 Oct 2012 – A Florida Case Involving the Use of a Police Dog Will Test the Limits of the 4th Amendment. The Supreme Court has said that at the "very core of the 4th Amendment stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion." The court’s commitment to the sanctity of the home will be tested Wednesday by a case featuring as familiar a symbol of domestic life as the family home itself – a dog. Only in this case, the dog was not the householder’s best friend but the police officer’s.
