So everybody thinks they're smarter than Dr. Judge, but let's see if you can answer this bar question. A Tennessee police officer knocks on a man's front door and asks to come inside. The man says, "No, thank you." And the officer says, "I can smell marijuana coming from your house because you were stupid enough to open the door." And he walks in anyway. He finds drugs and makes an arrest. The defense argues that the entry was illegal. What's the most likely legal outcome? A, the entry was legal because of the smell of marijuana gives the officer probable cause. B, the entry was illegal because a home requires a search warrant regardless of what the officer smelled. C, the entry was legal because the officer announced himself before entering. All right, tick-tock, tick-tock. Answer like a lawyer. The answer is B. Unlike vehicles, a home requires a search warrant after probable cause. A cop has the right to get a search warrant and come in your home if you're stupid enough to open the door and your house smells like weed. So don't ever do that. If a police officer knocks on your door, don't open the door.
