Correction: Supreme Court-Unlawful Search story

October 20, 2018

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — In a story Oct. 18 about a canine’s detection of drugs outside
an apartment door, The Associated Press reported erroneously that in a 4-3 decision,
the Illinois Supreme Court ruled the search unconstitutional. It was a 5-3 vote.

A corrected version of the story is below:

Court: Warrant needed for drug-dog search at apartment door

The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that a police canine’s detection of drugs outside an
apartment door in an unlocked building is an unlawful search

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that a police canine’s
detection of drugs outside an apartment door in an unlocked building is an unlawful
search.

The court ruled 5-3 Thursday that the common area outside any apartment door is a
legal part of a home. Justice Thomas Kilbride’s opinion determined that police need a
warrant before a drug-sniffing dog can search it.

East Moline police acted on a March 2015 tip and a canine detected drugs outside the
third-floor apartment’s door in an unlocked Moline building.

The court previously held such a search in a locked building was unconstitutional.

Justice Bob Thomas was one of three members dissenting. He says there’s no
expectation of privacy in the common areas of a multi-unit building.
