- valuearb 6y agoSometimes there isn’t a dog available. Sometimes the police have to leave on a higher priority call. Sometimes the dog doesn’t alert. Sometimes your lawyer can get the dog alerting thrown out based on other factors. What’s the risk of just letting them search? Sometimes you can be held for 90 days because the cops mistake donut frosting for meth. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/16/558147669/florida-man-awarded-37-500-after-cops-mistake-glazed-doughnut-crumbs-for-meth https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/16/558147669...
- syops 6y agoRights aren't really useful or meaningful if exercising them causes problems. What we should strive for is someone refusing to have their car searched without any problems.
- volkl48 6y agoWhich is an avenue your future lawyer can explore in your attempts to contest the charges against you and/or whatever action you're trying to bring against their conduct. If you just consent to a search, those avenues are basically closed. Can't contest if they had probable cause to search, if the dog was trained correctly, etc if you agree to the search.
