A drug sniffing dog hitting on a scent of MJ is considered probable cause to conduct a search
Okay, thanks for the clarification.
I’m not disputing what you say, but I agree with other posters that this aspect of the drug war needs to end. If those 430 pounds had gotten out to the American public, the only effect would have been that a few people would get high and have cravings for Doritos. Hardly a national crisis. Admittedly, I find potheads to be profoundly boring types as a general rule, but that’s not a national crisis either.
Not only is it probable cause, If the LEO WANTS to search, they will say that the dog “indicated” that there was something. Telepathically of coarse. If stopped and you refuse to allow a search without a warrant, They will call in one of those dogs with the telepathic training. Heck, they may even use the Yorkie that was crapping in the yard where you were pulled over! What I want to know is, why isn’t a dog “search” a search without a warrant?
“A drug sniffing dog hitting on a scent of MJ is considered probable cause to conduct a search.”
A drug dog searching for Michael Jackson? I thought he was dead!
Yeah, forget those pesky warrant thingies. The Fourth Amendment means naught.
