Imagine a drug detecting dog going through 100 apartments.
No drugs were found in any of them but say in 5 of them the dog sat on his bottom /barked/did whatever constitutes something resembling "drug odor detected".
I hope no judge will put the people who did live in these apartments up to half a year before in jail.
- alphabettsy 5y agoNot just that, but the dog’s indication is used to do incredibly invasive searches that the government does not have to incur the costs of the damage done. They will essentially toss a home or vehicle like a burglar, even going as far as cutting open things like seats and removing parts.
- MertsA 5y agoNot only will police occasionally destroy vehicles in a search without being liable for the damages, often any insurance policies also do not cover it. You can do absolutely nothing wrong and obey the law and buy comprehensive coverage and gap insurance and still have your vehicle destroyed by the cops because they managed to convince a dog to scratch your paint, and you're the one that's stuck with a totalled vehicle and a huge loan to pay off. https://reason.com/2021/04/23/the-cops-trashed-her-house-she-says-she-was-targeted-for-retaliation/ https://reason.com/2021/04/23/the-cops-trashed-her-house-she... https://jalopnik.com/new-jersey-cops-destroy-bmw-searching-for-weed-that-was-5871909 https://jalopnik.com/new-jersey-cops-destroy-bmw-searching-f...
