I once read somewhere in order for it to be smell proof from a dog, it has to be triple vacuumed(sp) sealed with a clean bleach/water wash in between each seal, and obviously you cannot have handled pot at all, must wear gloves, etc...
I've heard this as well, but don't really understand it. I mean I get that dogs can pick up on the oils and residues that may be on the bag/package, but if this were the case.. wouldn't the dog just hit on everything such as your steering wheel, shifter, visors, handles, etc..practically anything you have ever came in contact with after handling weed in your every day life?
I personally think that the majority these dogs (drug scent dogs) are just trained to hit (bark) when their handler gives them the cue - giving them reasonable cause to search anything and everywhere whether there is anything there or not.
Every time I see a K9 (either on tv or a few times locally) the dogs are going crazy barking and acting violent. Perhaps this is just a scare tactic, but a properly trained and obedient dog should be able to locate the drugs and give a bark or paw where the drugs are located.
I personally feel that dogs should not be automatic probable cause..and really should be taken out of the traffic stop situation all together.
Sure - use them for the blind, rescue, bombs, cancer and anything else their amazingly good at, but putting them in the hands of some dickhead cop trying to get into some stoners car is way out of line.
PS - didn't read the entire thread - just a few posts above so sorry if this was off topic at all.
