The probably had the family cat with them. So the K-9 got anxious, etc.
Raises an interesting question, since the police found nothing illegal, what exactly did the dog alert to? To me this means either the dog is fallible or his handler is a lying POS. In either case any evidence in any case found as a result of this duo should be tossed.
Moral in the case of the waitress. Keep it to yourself unless someone actually come back in the restaurant asking.

It should read, "The person who used to own this couldn't prove that they deserved it."
Getting to the point that we have to question do we trust the police anymore.
[ Police say a K-9 signal gave them the authority to search the car, ]
The Rule of DOG over the rule of GOD....
WE HAVE SLIPPED THIS FAR FOLKS!!!!
Cops are gonna shoot the family dog. Cops are gonna seize the cash in your car. Who don’t know this by now?
Even if this family was not involved in the drug trade, they were stupid to have this amount of cash in their car.
Good luck on getting it back.
Divining rod work if no dog is available?

Another victim of the War on Drugs and the civil asset forfeiture laws passed in its name. Anyone who’s surprised at all by these stories hasn’t been paying attention, because this has been going on for 20 years or more now.
Why isn’t some enteprising news agency doing investigative stings on the police dept abuses of the citiz.......
Oh...
Right...
That would require actual Journalism and risk...
Despite the fact this is legalized highway robbery, anyone by now should know that it exists and take the precautions. It’s also a fact that most cash has drug traces on it and will automatically set off the dog.
Seal the money in a ziploc back inside another, both sprayed with Febreze, inside a hermetic sealed lockbox, inside a locked suitcase filled with clothes, sprayed again with Febreze, and locked in the trunk. Wash your hands after handling the money.
A little effort will go a long way in avoiding having it happen in the first place.
You can train a dog to do most anything on verbal or visual commands. A slight finger movement, dog hits on the suspect car, you just lost all your stuff. If you don’t think it happens every day, well......
Gee, I didn’t know dogs could smell money.
“Police say a K-9 signal gave them the authority to search the car”
How does a court or jury verify that this happened and that it’s true?
All your everything belong to us. Guilty until proven guilty. I don’t trust the government especially their gangster thugs in a uniform. They can kill you andteal all your property and you can’t do a thing about it. And if there are “good” cops out there. I don’t trust them one bit either.
