What is the name of your state?Indiana
Can the police enter an apartment to succure a dog that under a specific lease has the right to be there. and that after the police entered the apartment based on the oficer smelling what he considered fresh marrijuana he conducted a search that forced open a locked closet door. the original probable cause affidavid mentions no other causes for the search. A second proble cause affidavid dated 2 months prior to the incedent( yes that is two months before) now mentions that the officer saw a pipe for smoking pot on the living room table and a book intilted "Marajuana the law and you". no search warrent was ever issued. I have found two U.S. supreme court cases that tend to say that this is an illeagle search. the proscuters office gave me a quick plea bargin and i have to decide to either fill a motion to suppress or accept the deal i feel it was an illeagel search looking for more back up information
