Duck a little faster, and you could miss the point entirely next time.
This is NOT the message of the article, which you obviously didn't read.
My sarcasm was in reference to some of the comments made about the article not the article itself.Duck a little faster, and you could miss the point entirely next time.

Everything we "know" about drug sniffing dogs is apparently poppycock.
The Mind of a Police Dog - Reason Magazine
TL;DR version: The dogs are more interested in pleasing their handlers than finding drugs, so they tend to cue on the handler's body language. If the handler thinks there might be drugs, the dog is likely to ignore its own nose and signal anyway. Researchers have done some pretty solid experiments to back this up.
Ive never liked the fact that they can bring out dogs and just throw out your rights based off of an animals response. I would bet a full paycheck on it, that somewhere in the country theres at least one department who teaches their dogs to hit on every car, or atleast has a signal to tell the dog which one they wanna search (probly one of those speed trap towns in GA). no way i will ever support ONLY a dog indicating on a car as reason to search.
I would have to imagine that this article isn't "news" too most everyone who has ever owned a dog before.
Only 1 full paycheck? I'd bet everything I own on it.
The reason it's important though, is that as we're all well aware, reality and common sense as they exist in everyday life are often not clearly reflected in the courtroom.I would have to imagine that this article isn't "news" too most everyone who has ever owned a dog before.

I wonder how many drug-sniffing dog handler/LEO arrests have gone to court where the LEO worked the dog, and they didn't find anything?
hahahahahaha...classic...
I wonder how many drug-sniffing dog handler/LEO arrests have gone to court where the LEO worked the dog, and they didn't find anything? It sure is hard to arrest somebody without EVIDENCE. Not to mention that the dogs indicate and the driver/vehicle owner either just used or transported narcotics recently. That odor sticks around. Yep - the dogs are that good.
Many. It works like this: the dog always alerts, the search is conducted and then something that cannot be smelled, stolen laptop computer, pills, inter alia is found.
How many times has the LEO worked the dog and found nothing? We don't know as the police refuse to keep stats. There is a 100% success rate for the dogs.
The dog is an officer and should not be allowed to search a vehicle.
That makes me wonder... if I shoot a police dog, have I just "assaulted an officer"? If so, the dog should be bound by the rules of officers, as you suggest.The dog is an officer and should not be allowed to search a vehicle.
