And yeah, I agree that a drug dog shouldn’t automatically trigger probable cause, but instead merely reasonable suspicion, meaning they can detain, but not search. They shouldn’t even be able to request a warrant based only on a drug dog hit. They should need multiple articulable reasons to suspect you of a crime to get to the point of a warrant, search, or arrest.
Man, that sucks.

It worked out for me. I got an entertaining story about being blackmailed by my school board, scout leaders, and local sheriff.
Plus, I graduated 2 months early because my school just sent over all my work for the semester and I did it in like 2 weeks.
