Hey, I didn't have any illegal drugs / weapons in the car, why wouldn't I allow these guys to let their dog sniff my car?
Why? [I realize NOW] the dog is a RUSE! The dog ALWAYS lays down indicating there are illegal drugs in your vehicle, giving them "Probable Cause" to search it.
I refused to alllow a body search, refused to allow them to search the car, but when it came to the dog, I thought "Why not?" Let the dog handler get some much needed practice in!
An HOUR LATER, surrounded by cops, my stuff laid out alongside I-40 the trim and carpet and ..... all removed, poked under, prodded
"are you sure you never smoked pot in this car? How long have you owned it?
Eventually they gave up, and I ONLY missed the wedding practice, not the wedding CEREMONY.
"Our dog is 99% accurate." Yeah, Bus****!
DO NOT consent to any search, bodily, car, OR the dog. Crack your window and pass your license/registration/insurance through it.
The dog is complete b.s. He will lie down on command and YOU get your **** searched as a result.
Do NOT be a "nice guy" when it comes to Law Enforcement. Stand up for YOUR consitutional rights against "unreasonable search and seizure"
We're gradually slipping into a police state, courtesy of the faux "war on drugs."
And CLAM UP. Say NOTHING to the cops. If you get arrested, Mirandized, handcuffed... WAIT TILL YOUR LAWYER ARRIVES.
My "offense?" Supposedly I changed lanes without signalling.
(Full Disclosure: I was issued a WARNING citation because of my radar detector "obscuring" the windshield)..... pffft! How about all the crap obscuring the windshields of LEO vehicles???
On a positive note, it was a beautiful day, after inspecting it for contraband, the 22 year old officer allowed me to have my Big Gulp (Dr. Pepper) and they were unfailingly polite, didn't point guns at me or anything.
