If you're not stashing the crack, what's the big deal in allowing someone's dog sniff one's pocket?

Very reasonable answer.

Say, while we are at it: If you aren't planning a crime, why are you sending mail in an envelope? Postcards would work just fine. If you aren't planning a terrorist act, what's the big deal with cops just coming over to your house and searching it without a warrant?

We're starting to get AWFULLY SUSPICIOUS of you Constitution-Loving Crazies.

Sorry bro, no one is buying your red herring. I guess I'll worry about post cards and envelopes when they finish catching the druggies. Until then, this sounds like the mounties got another well deserving dope pusher/user.

"In Caballes' case, he was pulled over for driving 71 mph on a stretch of Interstate 80 with a 65 mph limit. The state trooper noticed air freshener in the car and asked for permission to search Caballes' trunk. Caballes refused, but officers searched it later anyway after the dog indicated there were drugs in the trunk.

The troopers subsequently found $250,000 worth of marijuana, a find that Caballes argued was unjustified because they had no reason to suspect he had drugs. His conviction was later thrown out by the Illinois Supreme Court, a ruling that the U.S. Supreme Court reversed."
