   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3292
                          and No:  06-3344
   District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Bye,
   Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - criminal law. Officer had reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and could continue to detain the defendant afer issuing a warning ticket; length of detention - about 31 minutes between the issuance of the warning ticket and the arrival of a drug dog - was not unreasonable; defendant's passenger opened the car window on her own, and the police neither created the opportunity for the drug dog to breach the interior of the vehicle nor directed the dog to place its head through the window to search for drugs; as a result, the drug dog's instinctive action in sticking his head through the window did not violate defendant's Fourth Amendment rights.
