How do you reach the conclusion that they've learned any lesson from this? Have the officers been reprimanded in any way? If this couple had any amount of cash

If this couple had any amount of cash on them, it would have been confiscated as "drug money". Good luck getting it back, even in the absence of any evidence. That's why these tactics are tolerated, it's a source of income for the department. Who cares if a few innocent out-of-staters are taken advantage of?
The whole situation just makes me sick, and I'm continually surprised that it hasn't been ruled unconstitutional.

The point was the cops probably didn't get reprimanded, laws probably didn't change. But, they probably got chewed out in Monday morning meeting about taking better care, for example: make sure dog alerts off camera or takes a subtler cue. After precious department funding is at stake here, it is not amateur hour. Maybe imagine it like a mafia leader instructing his henchmen to properly dispose of bodies, otherwise it leave evidence and makes everything difficult ;-)
- rand334 11y agoPolice don't get reprimanded in America. They just get paid vacation at worst. Shoot a handcuffed guy in the back of your squad car? "Oh, he must have had a gun we just didn't find when we searched him." Right. Right.
