Assignment:

For this discussion, assume that you are a member of the US Supreme Court. Consider this case:

Police suspected a man had a meth lab (methamphetamine laboratory) inside his home. They suspected this based upon complaints from the neighbors that the house had a lot of traffic at all hours of the night and the window shades were always down.

Late at night, a detective (without stepping on the suspect's property) came by the property and smelled a strong scent of ammonia. Based on this information, the detective obtained a warrant to search the house and indeed did find an indoor meth lab operation.

The defendant was convicted, but has appealed claiming the smell of ammonia could have been cat urine. He believes any evidence related to the ammonia smell should have been excluded from the case (and, really, the warrant should not have been issued based on the smell of ammonia alone).

Identify the Constitutional issue and describe the process of deciding a Supreme Court case. Conclude with an explanation of how you would rule in such a case.
