“Plus the officer would have to positively identify the exact species of toad....” I suppose the officer could field test it, but an undercover agent would be immediately knocked off if he refused to take a lick.
And then there would be the problem of maintaining the evidence in the evidence room. I can see where hundreds, maybe thousands of toads decomposing while awaiting trial could be messy.
