Question by avatar: INDIANA: Local police receive call of “possible manufacturing & items commonly used for..,”?
& go to house to further investigate call. While talking to tenant, they ask if they can search backporch deck, yard, shed, etc. for items “commonly blah, blah, blah”.
After 8 officers searched the a bag of trash, shed, etc. for apprx. 45 minutes, & found nothing even close to what they were there for, asked if they could search INSIDE the home. Never once had they said the caller mentioned activity INSIDE, just outside.
They were denied so they used “strong chemical/odor coming from s. side of home” for probable cause to obtain warrant.
They did obtain warrant & found nothing @ all to do w/ their probable cause for warrant.
Would that be illegal search & seizure etc.?
Officers never informed tenant of “such a smell” or was it stated in warrant.
Renter was informed of this “smell” only through the local newspapers article 2 days after search.
NO CRITICISM PLEASE! SERIOUS ANSWERS OR ADVICE PLEASE!
