DEFENDANT’S OMISSIONS, INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS AND LIES AFTER A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP JUSTIFIED THE CANINE SNIFF.

The Third Department, over a two-justice dissent, determined the motion to suppress cocaine discovered using a canine sniff after a traffic stop for tinted windows was properly denied. Enough information and inconsistencies came to the officers’ attention after the stop to warrant the dog sniff. Defendant was on parole but initially did not inform the officer of that fact, the stop was outside the county in which defendant was paroled, defendant lied about his cell phone being broken, etc.:

The prolonged diet of inconsistencies and lies provided by defendant about his travels, when coupled with his parole situation and his nervous demeanor throughout the encounter, combined to give the officers a “founded suspicion of criminality” … . This founded suspicion justified both the extension of the stop after its initial justification had been exhausted and the exterior canine sniff that followed … . … The alert gave the troopers probable cause to search the vehicle and recover the bookbag from the back seat that contained cocaine … . People v Banks, 2017 NY Slip Op 01916, 3rd Dept 3-16-17
