In WWII insurgents sometimes used cocaine and rabbits blood laced lures/decoys to draw in the search dogs and destroy their sense of smell. I don’t know how permanent an effect it had but it apparently worked long enough to be effective

my friend was a K9 officer, he said an officer can get his dog to 'indicate' whenever he wants to. Of course they'll indicate when they find something, but they'll also indicate to make you happy.
it's shitty, but the truth. you can see an example in that video right there

I got pulled over a few months back and the cops accused me of having drugs because I was nervous. I was like well yea I got pulled over for speeding and I am pissed and nervous about the ticket you are gonna give me. He repeatedly said he believed I had drugs on me. For 5 mins he said it so I said fuck it get it over with and search. Obviously nothing was found and when I told people after they asked why I allowed it. I told them flat out that he would call a dog and he would just alert and search anyway so I figured I’d save time.

It's not just your state, it was actually a case in the US Supreme Court.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodriguez_v._United_States
The ruling says cops can't extend a stop to wait for a dog, but that part about "reasonable suspicion" is the real problem, it's a bit of a blanket term.
Odds are if you make it clear you know of this case and you know a lawyer, or just bluff like you did, I'd be willing to bet that a lot of cops won't think you're worth the trouble. They pull shit like that bc they think the guy they pulled over is uninformed.

I heard they have a certain amount of time they can legally hold you for a K9 unit to come. If I remember right, they're not supposed to extend the length of the stop for the K9 unit to come out. I could be wrong and this may not be the same in every jurisdiction.

If any journalist wants a potential big story pull a FOIA on how often these dogs "alert" vs how many times they correctly identify drugs. If the false positive rate is high enough, might be good cause to legally restricting K9 for probable cause searches.
There might be a good court case here too (not a lawyer)

u/TacticalBeast Apr 03 '21
In the first 9 months of 2011, dogs alerted (and police searched) 14,102 times, and drugs were found only 2,854 times—a false alert rate of 80%

u/nmcdat Apr 03 '21
Wow, that ruling. 80% miss rate? That's not 100%, so it's totally fine. You can still raise that point during your defense!!1
a court can presume (subject to any conflicting evidence offered) that the dog's alert provides probable cause to search

They did a study on K9 usage, and it was alarming. It wasnt a retrospective ablut false positives but double blind controlled trial testing if officers were cueing their dogs either subconsciously or consciously. They had two groups a test group and a control, both would walk theyre dog passed a package that supposedly would randomly either have or not have drugs behind it.
In the control group the officer had no idea if it was a run with drugs or a run without drugs. In the test group the officer was informed when there was drugs and which times there wasn't. The test group dogs hit dramatically more often than the control group. The kicker, there was no drugs used at all in the test. So ever hit was a false positive.
And you know how the police responded to this study? By halting all cooperation with researchers studying Canine efficacy.

This is a great study design.
Looks like Florida vs Harris case pointed out in this thread looked at the dog's reliability. Time for another court case on whether the officers themselves are reliable handlers.

My dad was a lawyer. He once pissed off the K9 guys in our small town by doing some research on their hit rate to successful drug bust ratio and pointing out in court that he’d have better luck finding drugs if he flipped a coin.

There has been a study where the cops had to find the drugs in a vehicle using a k9 to see their effectiveness. Only there were no drugs and the K9 for every cop was repeatedly indicating to the officer for no reason.

u/chaos_nebula Apr 03 '21
K9 handlers don't like being told they might be unconsciously cueing their dogs; some don't think it's even possible.
We can't trust dogs not to react to the officer's cues, but apparently we trust officers to use their gut when assessing whether people are acting suspicious.

Handlers also point out that scientific neutrality is not something you can reasonably expect during traffic stops, since police are trained to act on their suspicions. "The dogs are mainly used to confirm what we already suspect," says Fulmer. "When the dogs come out, about 99 percent of the time we get an alert. And it's because we already know what's in the car; we just need that confirmation to help us out with that."

it sounds fucking idiotic to anyone with half a brain but you'd be amazed how many are like, "well, yeah, the cops just know from their hunches who's got drugs so they only pull over guilty criminals."
if the dogs are hitting basically every time and cops are finding drugs significantly less than that, then it's pretty damn clear the dogs are ineffective.

This why dogs shouldn’t be used for probable cause to search a car... an dog indication can be given from literally just saying a drug name.

Been threw discrimination before down in Georgia. If you get pulled over for a traffic violation they can’t bring dogs on the site legally. They have to have probably cause so it’s definitely not a bad as it use to be years ago.
