According to an article I saw on Sixty Minutes, the dogs are only right 30% of the time when signaling the presence of drugs. This is considered "probable cause." Sounds like the opposite to me.
Trained animals like this are very sensitive to subliminal cues of their handlers. drug dogs are very unreliable, except under test conditions. I suggest that anybody nailed by a drug dog get the dog's record on discovery, and have the evidence excluded.
