My Opinions

Ruling in the Kentucky case, the justices said that officers who smell marijuana and loudly knock on the door may break in if they hear sounds that suggest the residents are scurrying to hide the drugs.

The smell of a burning flower and the sound of “scurrying” are now the “exigent circumstances” needed to “reasonably” cross that “firm line” without a warrant.

 

If you make noise when the cops knock, police can interpret that as you attempting to hide or destroy evidence (drugs), which creates the “exigent circumstance” needed to break down your door. Which leads me to ask, what does hiding or destroying cannabis sound like? I suppose the sounds of garbage disposals, trash compactors, and flushing. Note to self and advice to others: When you’re smoking pot in your home and the cops come a-knocking’, be very, very quiet. I’m only half-kidding.

 

 

That's crazy. So if you have a pet dog and it makes noise they may breach because of that?
