Broad Power To Stop Cars Again Narrowly Limited

This is stock photo so is not a picture of "Floyd," the dog in question. The USSC reasonably (and briefly) decided 6-3 (Scalia/Thomas split) that a traffic stop should not be extended merely to provide time to use a drug sniffing dog. Using the dog itself is dubious, but the matter was upheld in a past case. Garbled oral argument did not hurt defendant. As to being "unnecessary," flagged by dissents, major point of USSC review is to clarify legal points.
