Last night on Live PD...drug sniffing dog

What’s his recourse?

Nothing, because

Those dogs are trained to act like they hit on something just to give the pigs probable cause to enter the vehicle

We quit watching livepd because that’s 98% of the show.

That’s bullshite.

Yup

The cop can say the dog hit on something if it didn't.
That give him reason to search the vehicle. It's bullshite but nothing you can do.

One of my relatives had that happen to a new Vette. Dog scratched up the car and seats. Cops just told him to deal with it, and that he shouldn't keep drugs in his car if he didn't want the dog scratching it. He didn't do drugs, and it was a new car.


Some dogs are trained well, and the handlers work with them almost daily. Some handlers are weak people, and when their buddies want the dogs to "alert", the handler just says whatever random thing the dog does is an alert. They also make the dog believe it'll get a toy if it alerts improperly, so it always alerts.

Good cops = good dogs
Bad cops = bad dogs

What if the dog scratched his exterior paint up? Or got inside and marred his fine Corinthian leather? Who pays for that?

Exactly. And for what?? They didn’t even find anything

I saw the segment and what I gathered was the officers misrepresented the entire situation. They claimed it was just a drug sniffing dog. The kid told them there was a firearm in the glove and he wasn't going near it (implying y'all ain't shooting my arse).

The dog hit on the passenger door. Glove box side. The cops then started in on drugs and ignoring the gun. All around, it seemed like blatant 4A violation caught on tape. The kid said he didn't agree to a search and then the officers had the audacity to even talk about their verbal judo tactic.

That’s exactly what happened. It was an odd series of events that didn’t add up

You’re right. That baw said he had a gun but refused to get it for fear of being shot.

I would done the same

I often wonder the same thing re. search warrants and homes. You know they leave stuff in disarray. Maybe not trashed like on TV, but still the place is torn up. Any recourse?

Saw a video on youtube of this happening. Showed some "gives" the cop gives the dog to start scratching. Funny when they started to search, and found the camera. Ha

If this is legit, the dogs should only be able to do one or 2 passes around the car. No commands or words. No touching the car by the dog. If they cant smell it then move on. Cant have a dog try to climb into a window you are forced to have open.
