4th Amendment Violations in Drug related Traffic Stops in Ohio 

only if you live in ohio

The idea of "residue from drugs no longer there" is obviously bogus as I'm sure you can tell. The way dogs smell things is the chemical is constantly streaming out of the source and escaping into the environment, when the source is GONE it's like closing off the dam from a river, the chemicals the dog can detect disappear, the very nature of them radiating causes them to dissipate extremely quickly. You can see this in how dogs are trained, they do NOT signal in containers that previously held drugs, they go straight to the source. The problem with these tests is dogs are NOT trained for "are there drugs or are there no drugs" they are trained for "where are the drugs" the dogs just do NOT have the instinct to accept failure they are very VERY keen to please their handlers who are happy with a signal and sullen when there's no signal. Whatever their training, in practice cops condition dogs to signal. On a tragic note, after the 9-11 attacks the rescue dogs became morose and agitated when they could no longer find anyone alive in the rubble, the dogs were trained to find people alive, they were not trained to find bodies. To get the dogs to keep looking the firemen would bury themselves alive under a bit of rubble to let the dogs "find" someone and the dogs would be able to go on functioning. It seems it just isn't in a dog's nature to accept negative results. We are PAST the point of needing dogs, we have chemical analysis which can directly detect chemical particles, this is what the US postal service has been using for decades in response to the Anthrax attacks. But cops don't want to use this precisely BECAUSE it is reliable, they like the false positives.

Not just that but can the officer prove that he smelt drugs other than hearsay. We all know that cops commit more perjury than politicians.

@Paul Pritchard• I totally agree with you on that point because the damn dog is bearing false witness against the vehicle not the driver. And most cops are actually looking to steal cash in these bogus stops under the civil forfeiture scam.

Exactly. Their behavior is turning law abiding folks against them. Why are they trained this manner?

you support law enforcement? sure. back the blue until it happens to you.

@@fransmith8992 It did happen to me when I was 19 Y/O on the side of a highway when a state trooper asked me to search my vehicle and I didn't know any better. Nothing was in my vehicle but I learned over time that I can say no to searches. I never give consent for a law enforcement officer to search my property and if they try to play games I will call my lawyer on the spot. Just say no

@@drew8979 you said you support law enforcement and this happened to you, yet you never learned the lesson.

@@fransmith8992 What is the lesson?

If you wish to be technical, the dog is actually (supposedly) searching the air around your car, and not the car itself. This is a bit of a stupid problem in the first place, trying to fight drugs by searching individual vehicles to seize a few grams at a time.

Nope. And because theres no breath test if you’re a medical user they can take your blood to determine if you’re impaired. But smart people don’t smoke a blunt when they’re driving. People are so stupid. Just like drinking go home first 🤷‍♀️

@@theresekirkpatrick3337 Shut

Presumably no charges will be pressed if nothing is found in the search, so there'd be no need to prove innocense. It was still an illegal search (with no reason to do it), and as far as I understand it's up to the victim to sue the police for that.

most of the time they just hit because the cop eggs them on to hit. usually you will see on the body cam the k9 handler will point and encourage the dog, then the dog will "hit" it's complete bs and they use it all the time as justification for a search
