I think the only way this stuff is going to stop is when the victims take the cases to trial, and the juries give awards that literally bankrupt municipalities

These settlements need to come out of police pension funds. Guarantee they'll think twice about pulling these stunts if their retirements were at risk.

of course the POS handler saying git-it Git-I GIT-It had nothing to do with the dog's actions...

Perhaps Tampa PD should rely on informants instead.

Ooops

Motion seeks records of informer Rita Girven's involvement with Tampa police

Quite a cozy relationship.

What would happen if me or you did that to someones truck?
The same damn thing needs to happen to the idiot cops who did this.

Vandalism is vandalism.

unless officers lose pensions and wage garnishes, it won’t stop. they’ll let taxpayers pay higher taxes.

i have heard these dogs sometimes trigger b/c the handler gives them cues they want them to trigger on.

Quite a while back Tampa was a nice town.

Then is was taken over by the leftoid politicians.

How did I do channeling my inner boot-licker?

Might need an opinion from the JBT list...

This is why FL will legalize medicinal mary jane in Nov in referendum and why it will shortly thereafter fully legalize it.

The War on Citizens will end and people will be free again.

Meantime the noodlewits will be searching everything they can.

In this regard its rarely the lefties who are trying to fight the fight against mary jane. Sadly that nonsense has taken strong root on the right.

You know why they chose HIS (nice) truck? Because they WANTED it.

Because of civil forfeiture —if they found dope, they could seize the vehicle.

A diesel EXCURSION ,,, hell yeah they wanted to confiscate it.

The dogs are trained off-record to trigger when the handler gives a small signal. It's nothing but an excuse to search anyone at will

“I remember a case not too long ago where they reviewed a drug dog’s record. Turns out the dog was wrong as much as he was right. Basically a coin flip, but still probable cause in the eyes of the law.”

You mean probable excuse.

I thought they trained the dogs with a signal to react as though drugs are detected as an excuse to search.
