These so called "drug dogs" are nothing but a manufactured excuse for a search. Any handler that can't get his dog to "alert" on command doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

Then there is the subliminal cues they can unknowingly give to the dogs. Were I on a jury, I would give zero credence to any "evidence" that came from one of these creatures. A classic case of subliminal cueing is the horse from early in the 20th century that it was claimed could count and do simple math. Turns out, it could do it, but only if it could see it's trainer. The horse apparently noticed expression changes and other cues which told it when to stop when it was doing its 'trick'.

AMEN! My wife and I were victimized by one of these 'K-9's and their bastard handlers a few years ago...

Clever Hans the horse was so good he could read the scientist who was testing him and not just his trainer. The scientist had to turn his back.
