Today the Supreme Court ruled that police need a warrant to bring a drug sniffing dog on a suspect's property to search for evidence.

The ruling was 5-4 and take a look at this wacky split.
For freedom:
Antonin Scalia
Clarence Thomas
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Sonia Sotomayor
Elena Kagan
For the police state:
Chief Justice John Roberts
Justice Stephen Breyer
Justice Anthony Kennedy
Justice Samuel Alito
"The police cannot, without a warrant based on probable cause, hang around on the lawn or in the side garden, trawling for evidence and perhaps peering into the windows of the home," Justice Antonin Scalia said for the majority. "And the officers here had all four of their feet and all four of their companion's, planted firmly on that curtilage — the front porch is the classic example of an area intimately associated with the life of the home."
The case was Florida v. Jardines, 11-564.
