importation of anabolics, probable cause, dog sniff
Hi, I am a new member here, I was invited by Johan to join the board, and offer my expertise in steroid law. I am a third year law student, I graduate very soon, and as an anabolic steroid user, I have a strong interest in steroid law.
What I usually do is give a brief synopsis of the law, and then I will post the case where I got that conclusion. I think reading the cases is very helpful, that is what lawyers do, and it gives you great insight into the legal process. Reading the case also gives insight into how law enforcement works, and the methods they implore. If you guys ever have questions feel free to ask.
This next case is one of the greatest ever that I have found. It involves domestic mail being sniffed by a dog for steroids. So yes, the postal service has dogs that can sniff for steroids.
Also remember that a dog sniff is not protected by the 4th amendment, which means that the government need not have probable cause to have a dog sniff a package. All that is required is a reasonable suspicion.
In this case reasonable suspicion was found by using the following elements: Reasonable suspicion existed for detaining package to expose it to dog sniff, where package in question was heavily duct-taped, hand-addressed to an individual rather than a business, had a fictitious return address and no named sender, and was sent from an airport known to be used by drug couriers.
So if you have a source that packages like this you are exposing yourself to substantial risk.
It is also noteworthy to mention that support for the warrant to search this guys home was predicated upon his having a prior arrest, so the government took time to research this individual at length. Which leads me to think if any of you have any prior arrests for drugs, you should not be using your own name.
So I will post the case in its entirety, its a great case on techiniques of law enforcement, and it brings to light the fact that the governement has dogs that can sniff out anabolics, which is a scary thought for us all I am sure.
