"drug dogs, which need to do nothing more than something only perceptible to the officer/trainer to allow officers to engage in warrantless searches."
More importantly, dogs smart enough to alert to an unconscious cue that even an honest officer is unaware he is emitting, as the case of the horse Clever Hans proved. The officer straightened his spine? Raised his eyebrows? The dog is eager to please.
Dogs as accusers can't be cross-examined -- all you need to understand to outlaw this practice./div>
If you look at who the defendant's lawyers were in each of these cases, chances are excellent that they were the Institute for Justice, a legal firm dedicated to defending the economic rights of Americans. All their work is PRO BONO to their clients, and funded strictly by charitable donations. You can make a donation at ij.org, or even just rack up passive donations to them by choosing them as your Amazon Smile charity. Freedom-loving Americans will thank you.
"there's nothing like the First Amendment there -- you don't have to point that out in the comments"
