US Supreme Court: Dog Sniffs

[mojo84]

Is searching one innocent good guy justification enough if it actually catches 10 bad guys? If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't be doing it.

I bet the ratio is closer 10 searches to net 1 or 2 bad guys. Same with pretextual traffic stops.

SCOTUS 1969, police can lie during interrogation. This makes them non-credible in my view when interacting in a stop. Its sad that the law-abiding have to resort to video to try to preserve their rights.

Now if someone would invent a cheap gas chromatograph that would provide real-time uploadable cabin air data, to defeat the phony "I smell weed" search pretext, that would be a step in the right direction.

What's sad is that we have police departments that object to making changes that would protect good officers from bad circumstances, decrease the use of force (liability), and decrease the number of complaints that come from the public.
