UNITED STATES V. PLACE
462 U.S. 696 (1983)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from the suppression of evidence in a drug case.
FACTS: Law agents at Miami Airport notified the DEA in New York about their suspicions
(based on behavior and discrepancies in address and phone number) that Place (D) was
carrying narcotics. The DEA met D at LaGuardia Airport and told him that they believed he
was carrying illegal drugs. D gave his identification, but refused to allow the agents to
search his luggage. The DEA told D that they were taking his luggage to a federal judge to
get a search warrant and that he could accompany them. D declined, and the DEA gave him a
number to call to get his luggage. The DEA took his luggage to a narcotics-sniffing dog 90
minutes later. The dog reacted positively to one bag. The DEA obtained a search warrant
Monday morning (the bags were seized late Friday). D was convicted of possession of cocaine
with intent to distribute. The district court denied D's motion to suppress. The 2nd
District reversed. The government (P) appealed.
