I read something years ago about the huge percentage of $20 bills which have drug residue on them.
ReplyDeleteAbout 30 years ago, I was having a conversation with a couple of buddies and the conversation got around to drug usage. One of my buddies was a detective with the county sheriff's dept. I made mention to what Henry Lee just posted and my detective buddy looked like i slapped him. He was shocked and didn't realize that that information was out in public.
DeleteI know some studies have shown the dogs are wrong more than 50% of the time. Flipping a coin would be better. Even if they were accurate, I would be opposed to a citizen losing their 4th Amendment rights on the "word" of a trained animal. Other than search and rescue and limited use in prisons and maybe airports, dogs should not be used for law enforcement. All too often they are just punishment for contempt of cop.
ReplyDeleteChris, the dog doesn't give a shit about your 4th Amendment rights; he cares about pleasing his handler, because the handler is the one with the treats.
DeleteAnd the "alert" is whatever the handler says it is; the dog sitting down the dog scratching, the dog taking a shit...
Maybe 20 years ago I read an article that stated drug dogs, when tested by a non-police affiliated agency, without the handler present, failed 85% of the time. As a result of that study, no police departments allow their dogs to be tested by other than police 'certified' agencies, with the handlers present.
DeleteWhat rickn8or and Anon@6:52 said. Does anyone really think that police depts are going to invest a huge amount of their drug interdiction budgets and not get results every time the team is out on patrol?

The " alerts " can be and often are controlled by the handler.. Dogs want to please, most anyway, and alerts gets them treats, play time and praise from the handler.. It's a crooked system
ReplyDeleteJD
Yeah. The dogs are trained to give them probable cause.
ReplyDelete75% of paper currency has cocaine residue.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt that handlers can cause their dogs to "Alert"....and I do think thta the "Alert" is not defined well enough so that the handler can say that his dog alerted when he wants to.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I used to let the cops practice with their dogs at the motel I managed...and the dogs are remarkable as to what they can find and how far away they can sniff out a crack pipe or a bag of weed or cola.
Collinsville IL PD got caught playing games in motel parking lots. They would swipe out of state cars with some pot, then pull the car over and get the dog to let them search.

The main video here provides a story of a K-9 cop who realized how he was being used, and switched sides, to protect the public.

The dogs get trained to "alert" when the handlers signal them to alert. Thie allows the badgemonkeys to search people and places whenever they want without any actual evidence to justify a search. It's just a trick they use to savage 4A rights. And virtually no agency tracks how often their dogs alert but nothing is found. Such statistics would show how poor drug dogs actually perform.
ReplyDeleteTheir fallback bullshit excuse when nothing found is, ”Well there was probably drugs here at some time and the dog is alerting on the residual smell.”
DeleteOh sure, that must be it!! Even if you haven’t smoked weed in 30 years and have a new car it must the “residual smell”.
The dogs are so tuned in with the handler, if the handler thinks something is up, the dog will sense that and trigger.
ReplyDeleteCouple of simple changes we should demand.
ReplyDelete1. Require a warrant for any search even if the item to be seized is in plain view.
2. Require that a witness for the council (defence attorney) be present and in a proximity to view what the searching officer is doing. If multiple officers, multiple observers.
3. Officer conducting the search to be dressed ONLY in a speedo and flip flops.
4. Officer to be financially responsible for any damage if drugs in sufficient quantity are not found.
5. If the subject of the search is a resident of a state that has legalized pot, bar the police from confiscation of same.
I'm not in favor of legalising pot. We are seeing the problems from it in states that have done so. OTOH, adults should be able to ruin their lives IF it causes no harm to others. Medical marijuana is another matter, plenty of evidence it helps people.
I second this notion. Police get away with way too many abuses and of qualified immunity and no-knock raids would be excellent additional demands.
DeleteThe crime problem has less to do with legal plants / drugs and more to do with leftists refusing to prosecute crime and utilize asylums. I would love to grow and smoke my own weed but it's not yet legal in my state; yet I can buy and grow Henbane a very lethal plant that induces psychosis and sends people to their own personal hellscape, complete with demons and torment. Allegedly, just being around the plants for too long, or touching the leaves, is enough to induce ominous dread and nightmares.

25 years ago there was this guy here in Brevard County, Fl. that had the area where a murder had been committed 2 weeks prior, had the area sprayed with water to "knock down" scent that was caught up in the trees. He brought his dog in and claimed that the dog could pick up on that scent. This guy and his bullshit dog were resopnsible for a number of bogus convictions. It is really amazing how fuckin' stupid juries can be.
ReplyDeleteDown here in Texas, game wardens have authority to search any vehicle with no warrant and no need for reasonable suspicion. Why that hasn't been challenged in court I don't know. However I do know lots of highway checkpoints will have a game warden hanging around. Want to search a car? Well, I think you've been poaching, let me look around and see.
ReplyDeleteYou want a police state or not! Ingrates.
ReplyDeletePretty good youtube channel.
ReplyDeleteBack in Germany, we used to go out on the economy and buy weed. We didn't smoke it. We would boil it in water, then mop the floors in the barracks with it. The stupid dogs never even made it past the door man....
ReplyDeleteAvoid the orc.
ReplyDeleteMost are sadistic nit-whits. With a never have to worry about/get out jail free badge for anything evil they do. The orc is a tool of the evil empire, the state.
