However, your assumption that cops were lying every time or even most of the time when there was no “hit” is just anti-cop biased fantasy.

My assumption is that 1 of 2 things is irretrievably true.

1. They lied.

2. That clearly, there is no legal justification for continuing the use of "smell" as justification.

As we have agreed, marijuana is so penetrating that it’s not surprising that the smell will remain long after it’s all smoked, or if the person who smoked has the smell on them long after they left the place where they smoked. That’s why they have recently stopped allowing it as a basis for probable cause.

They really haven't Oh, I get it. The courts decided. LOL. The courts also decided that it was illegal to extend a traffic stop beyond the time it takes to give the ticket solely to bring in a canine. And, it took the police about 5 minutes to figure out their way around that.

Which is the point. They are frickING GOVERNMENT AGENTS. They act EXACTLY like all the other government agencies we conservatives mistrust. Have you seen the games they play now to give canines time to arrive? It's comical.

But don’t confuse my argument. I’m not saying there aren’t bad cops,

I don't really care about bad cops. Bad people are in every group. I care that the supposedly good cops do nothing which means, THEY are bad too!

Your over-broad and hyperbolic representations contribute to an anti-cop bias that is already out of control and causing more criminality.

"Leadership" by "good cops" in North Carolina didn't notice as one of their officers somehow had roughly 4x the number of search/drug busts as any other officer in the unit for nearly 4 fricking years! It took a new ADA showing up to notice the oddity and eventually, catch him planting drugs on his own damned body cam.

That was NOT "one bad cop". Sorry. It just wasn't.
