* Police can obtain a search warrant based on the smell, and they can prevent people from coming and going until the warrant is brought to the scene. This is not done often.

As far as I know, it is legal to execute a search of the property based on the plain "sight" clause. The smell of marijuana is probable cause to search the property.

That very much depends on what the dog is smelling, how strong the smell is, and the wind direction.
The dog has the best sense of smell.
They can only smell what they are trained to smell bomb dogs only smell for explosives. Drug dogs only smell for what drugs they where trained to smell and a missing persons dogs is trained to pick up different humans by command of the officer. U can train your dog to smell out what ever u want take a tennis ball or sock put the item or smell u want him to learn after a few times of fetch or training him to find it when u hide it with treats after every time they actually find it then u will have a sniffing dog real soon
