It can go in with K-9 units ‘smelling something’ and all the other made up bullshit that they use to violate people’s rights.

Just to clarify, properly trained and handled drug and bomb sniffing dogs do actually have quite a high accuracy rate. However, in the hands of shitty police officers… sigh.

Yes dog noses are excellent and they can smell things. They are also great for finding survivors in disasters!
K-9 units don’t operate on whether the dog smells something, they just follow the signals from their handlers. That is what makes them bullshit.

Police ethical standards are practically nonexistent in the US. Deception of juveniles & the intellectually disabled is permitted in most states to obtain court-admissible confessions, and police are trained to obtain confessions that way.
