The Ability to Smell Moon Good in Lieu of Search Warrant
If an officer can actually smell the liquor that is concealed in a car he has the right to search it without a search warrant, the supreme court held in a suit brought against Sheriff Edward C. Miller, LaCrosse. The sheriff was sued because he searched a car without a search warrant and then confiscated the machine because he found liquor. One of the cans containing liquor was leaking and it was the odor from this that the sheriff smelled.
