So it's less an issue of police officers intentionally triggering things in order to harass individuals like the original commenter said and more of unintention

  One can call it plausible deniability. There are many examples that have been caught on camera, I see that another commenter posted a link to one of them on this thread. When you see things like the handler returning to a previously cleared spot and indicating that the dog should check it again; three or four times until the dog alerts, you can assume that the handler has a severe short term memory problem and he just forgot that the dog had previously checked the area and failed to alert. I think it's more indicative of the officer hinting to the dog that "this is where I want you to alert" and their training reinforces the idea that if the dog does what's expected, there will be a treat.

    That's why I was asking about if there was any information about this, or any studies/investigations done, since people can go back and forth forever with "Well, did they already check that part? Is it intentional? Was the dog triggered?" Etc.. etc... It definitely seems like an area ripe for investigation, I just haven't seen any.
