“I wonder what the dog “alerted” on? There’s no mention of drugs and you know that that charge would have been applied if at all possible.”
The dog could’ve alerted on anything, but just because it alerted dos’nt mean it detected something unusual. At Castle AFB CA in the early ’90s a AF Security Police dog “alerted” on a civilian employee’s gym bag which got the employee jacked up. What the dog “alerted” on was a roast beef sandwitch that the employee had in the bag for his lunch.
Im willing to bet that a large percentage of these “hits” or “alerts” are from a hungry dog smelling food. I wonder if there were fast food wrappers in that car.
And is a dog barking all that is required to permit a search? Because it would be pretty damned easy to tote a dog wherever you need to go in and have it bark madly on cue.

How many times do we have to say it? Keep your paws off the trigger until you are ready to fire!

They hid the .22LR in the engine compartment?! Fail.

Are police dogs now being trained to look for Hoppe’s #9 or (just outside chance) the dog did nothing and the search was without probable cause?
Yes, the final answer makes all seem ok, but was there a real probable cause for the vehicle search?

Is this a .22lr sniffing dog? Wouldn’t it ‘alert’ on the cop’s fantastic plastic? WTF? Maybe it just alerts an niggers.
