That's a pretty hard question to answer really.
A cop can go knock on your door and if in the process of doing that he notices something that gives him probable cause it's fine.
I don't see how that changes if he happens have a dog with him.
The cop can do all that but he also has to meet another requirement, "lawful presence". Why was he there in the first place? Now, if someone claimed that you had drugs I don't see the problem with him going up to the door, knocking and asking if they have drugs, etc. Bringing a dog? No. All he is doing is trying to use the dog to establish some sort of probable cause. If he was WALKING his dog along a sidewalk and the dog went nuts on the house, ok I could see where he'd have reasonable suspicion and could build a case from there.
/in the end, it'll be up to the courts

Growing it shouldn't be illegal in the first place.
It isn't illegal under the constitution.
Neither is murder

I don't really see what's wrong with it. The cop is allowed to go knock on your door and ask you a question just like anyone else is allowed to come up and knock on your door. Why he can't bring a dog with him I don't really know.

Call the police on any group of people in the 20-30s with a dog like that and I bet the police will find some sort of contraband

This.
But in order to enter the bastards need a warrant.
Though I'm sure that is all going to change soon enough. Enjoy your new police state, Amerika!

Huges call the cops on the people with the pitbull. Say anoynomously taht you suspect drug activity with people coming and going at odd hours.

bringing the dog onto your property is only for one purpose and that is to search...they went onto the property knowingly intending to use the dog for that purpose...
a cop can not go up to your door and put a mic against your door to record or hear your conversation inside a house...why would a dog be allowed to smell something in your house?

They need a search warrant!
I would demand it if they showed up at my place
