I think you should have waited to have all the details before posting a thread. But I would say you have nothing to worry about when he comes back through. It's a major interstate, alot of out of state plates go through including Texas because we have three refinery's in the area 2 of which are wrapping up turnarounds with lots of out of Towner's so one more Texas plate isn't going to get any attention.

Weed is legal in Montana.

If you got pulled over and had a six pack in the trunk would you be okay with having your vehicle tossed?

I want you and RancidAR to go find me the portion of MT law where it says that calling 911 or dispatch is an immunity to prosecution on a failure to stop charge.

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

You produce the “failure to stop” charges that were leveled against the OPs son.

Unfortunately the case law still allows for cops to lie about smelling weed, or their pets smelling weed. Because from the days of our founding fathers we turned into a bunch of pussies afraid of people smoking plants they want to smoke.

You say you respect the police. Then this is what you respect. They do this shit all day every day, all across the country. If your kid had cash with him, they would have stolen it as well.

Okay, I’ll say the obvious and unpopular - maybe just pull over immediately next time instead of calling 911 and making an issue of the stop when he was admittedly speeding.

Yeah,  them using your tax dollars to pay what amounts to civil fines for their illegal bullshit absolutely will not fix the problem, because there is still no consequence for them.


The baseline problem is we have too many ridiculous laws we hire too many cops to enforce.   This results in lowering standards because people willing to enforce such bullshit aren't going to be the best people in the first place, and and second because you need so many of them now.  Seriously,  90% of the average cop's "job" is bullshit we shouldn't be bothering law enforcement with.

That flat isn't true. I have bred and trained K9s for over 11 years. Does it happen? yes. Is it common? no. And it is becoming less and less common as the demand for single purpose narcotics dogs is way down. And I have not trained a dog on pot in almost 3 years. Explosives, and the chemicals in meth manufacturing has become far more common in the last couple years by a factor of 2 to 1.

To put into perspective of what I do and what happens. For 15 weeks, the new handlers are trained and the dogs are trained to what the department wants. 85% of the training is with the handlers. The dogs will repeat a behavior 100% of the time when the handler is consistent. If the handler is shit, the dog will be shit. If the handler is is solid, the dog will be solid. It is as simple as that. A well trained dog will have no idea what a command is to "hit" on command. That is something the handler instilled in the dog, and is the failing/bad motive of a handler.

If that behavior is identified in the 15 week course, that dog is flunked out.

The dogs are reliable to be accurate, and I have testified in court a dozen times to that effect. The motives of the officers/handlers can absolutely swing the dogs one way or another.

It is NOT the dogs. It is the handlers. And all of you Lazy-boy Monday morning quarterbacks have no idea what you are talking about.

I got pulled over on my way to a gun match.  Cop had a ride along individual with him in passenger seat.  He tripped out that I had two pistols in my car.  Why do you need two pistols?  Cuz its my back up in case my primary fails.  Nope.

He calls in 3 other units & searches my car.  1 hour of searching & found...nothing. Let me go with a "stern warning" to slow down & to be mindful of how I carry guns in my car. Ughm.  They were in gun bags in a tacticool range bag.  Unloaded.  No magazines in them.

I complained to the Sgt. in charge but, of course, nothing came of it.

Definitely some police out there wanting to show off & get glory for their lot in life.

How far did he drive before pulling over? Did dispatch tell the officer that the guy called to confirm? Is there body cam footage?

Plenty of videos show cops overreacting to people doing this, or waiting for a safer place to pull over. Especially when pulled over by unmarked cars, which shouldn't exist in the first place in a traffic context.

I fucking hate the interdiction fucktards that have no respect for Constitutional Law.  I'm former city and state LE, and 2nd gen LE, and have had dust-ups with them even when I was traveling on LE business.  I drove off and left one standing on the side of the road with his mouth open near the Sarita checkpoint in South Texas (he was local LE on HIDTA funded highway interdiction TF). I'll prob get labeled a sovereign citizen next time i get stopped by these shitheads bc my only words will be "fuck you" and "bye" now that I'm not LE affiliated.  Getting cuffed/stuffed without any sign he is a threat or is potentially wanted is complete BS and a clear sign these douchenozzles shouldn't be on the job.  Don't get me started on dope k9 BS and cars with ghost markings. I'm shocked that any court in the land still accepts a dog hit as reasonable suspicion.  IMHO any stops should be attempted only by clearly marked units except in times of clear exigency. "Muh dope collar stats this month" wouldn't meet any reasonable standard for exigency.  Op, FWIW I'm sorry this happened to your son.  Wish I could say this doesn't happen in Texas, but it does.

Yep, but having been around the dogs for as long as I have, that 30% is there mostly due to handler issues and inconsistency (nervous during a cert. trial, etc.).

In the real world, region and location will largely play into the statistics. And I have not seen any hard data, I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood half of K9 deployments end up in a search (indication from dog), and of those I would venture to ballpark 30-40% do not find anything of significance.

I am all for eliminating Narcotic K9s all together. Do not get me wrong, I agree they are misused. People need to know it is not the dog trying to hook up someone on the side of the road. The dogs are great tools, no different than a firearm. We all love to point out that guns do not kill people, people do. K9 are no different. The K9s are not out there trying to find drugs, they want to smell for something, and get to play with a tug. They do not know drugs are illegal. They know if they smell meth, they platz, the get told they are a good boy, gets pets, and get to play with a tug.

Shitty handlers can make the most well trained K9 look like shit. And good handlers can make a mediocre dog look great.

Outside people in the business, nobody cares whether the failure was the dog or the handler.  It's a distinction without a difference.

First I'll let you know why there's no statistics in a business that loves statistics, because they don't want them to be discovered.  

Second, assuming your estimate is accurate, about a third of the time they are used to create PC they fail to find what they were looking for.  Congratulations, your tool is a little better than a drug detecting quarter.

ETA:  Your edit is laughable.  A dog is not like an inanimate object.  You lose any credibility when you try to make such a foolish arguement.

It's just another piece of their well-groomed testimony and affidavit copypasta. "Based on my knowledge, training, experience with my appropriately certified ouija dog, this officer initiated a traffic stop in a known drug corridor." It adds scary and superficially credible-sounding words.

It's sort of like everything within 100 miles of the border is a 4th Amendment-free zone for U.S. citizen. Because we said so.

But not for millions of non-citizens who are actually and illegally crossing the border.

In 3 months he has to travel back through there in the same vehicle. License plate readers being what they are, I don't want to risk this getting out on the internet.

Why does he have to travel back that way?  Take the scenic route and go back a different way.

Fuck cops.

Used to be an ally. You fixed that for me.

Real criminals might hurt you so you go for generally law abiding people.

Yep, but having been around the dogs for as long as I have, that 30% is there mostly due to handler issues and inconsistency (nervous during a cert. trial, etc.).

In the real world, region and location will largely play into the statistics. And I have not seen any hard data, I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood half of K9 deployments end up in a search (indication from dog), and of those I would venture to ballpark 30-40% do not find anything of significance.

I am all for eliminating Narcotic K9s all together. Do not get me wrong, I agree they are misused. People need to know it is not the dog trying to hook up someone on the side of the road. The dogs are great tools, no different than a firearm. We all love to point out that guns do not kill people, people do. K9 are no different. The K9s are not out there trying to find drugs, they want to smell for something, and get to play with a tug. They do not know drugs are illegal. They know if they smell meth, they platz, the get told they are a good boy, gets pets, and get to play with a tug.

Shitty handlers can make the most well trained K9 look like shit. And good handlers can make a mediocre dog look great.

Dogs are incredibly unreliable.

Depends on what you mean by reliable.  I believe there isn't a dog out there who won't hit on whatever the handler wants.

That flat isn't true. I have bred and trained K9s for over 11 years. Does it happen? yes. Is it common? no. And it is becoming less and less common as the demand for single purpose narcotics dogs is way down. And I have not trained a dog on pot in almost 3 years. Explosives, and the chemicals in meth manufacturing has become far more common in the last couple years by a factor of 2 to 1.

Okay.  How many false positives are encountered/acceptable?  And please don’t say, “well, of course we strive for zero, but…” Thanks.



Depends on the source material. Here, get educated: https://www.uspcak9.com/assets/RULES/All%20Rules%20Combined%20%202022.pdf

Thanks for sharing that.  For certification 70% of points is passing.  

How are the statistics in the real world?  What percent of hits results in not finding contraband?

Damn, I thought it would be a much higher percentage of being right. Could you imagine being employed at a job with that kind of failure rate? Ouch.  That is a lot of people being fucked with.

At least we can criticize law enforcement on this site now, to an extent.

I remember when any questioning or criticism was immediately shut down and your account was at risk.

They don't care about the drugs, they are in it for asset forfeiture. Highway robbery.

How far did he drive before pulling over? Did dispatch tell the officer that the guy called to confirm? Is there body cam footage?

Plenty of videos show cops overreacting to people doing this, or waiting for a safer place to pull over. Especially when pulled over by unmarked cars, which shouldn't exist in the first place in a traffic context.
