They either watch you to know when to signal, in the cases where it actually “works” (which, as fucked up as it is, reading your body language is “working” for some definition of working), or they’re just using it as an excuse to search/harass you, in which case they just signal when they want to.
And this frame up/parallel construction was so inept it makes me believe for a split second they are not adequately competenr manage to send those signals.
A 2011 analysis by the Chicago Tribune examined three years of data on police dog alerts during traffic stops in suburban Chicago. The study found that drugs or paraphernalia were discovered in only 44% of cases where dogs alerted. Notably, the accuracy dropped to 27% when the driver was Latino, suggesting potential bias in the deployment or interpretation of canine alerts.
This doesn’t prove dogs can’t detect odors. At best it implies bias in officers which is not really what you suggested. It’s also a lone study.
I work adjacent to this field so these kinds of claims coming from someone who clearly doesn’t makes it sound like you don’t really know what you are talking about.
Look man, I was just linking you to a study when you asked for sources. There’s no need for hostility here. Also, there are more studies discussed in the article if you actually click on the link.
drug dogs are not actually accurate at finding drugs, they sound off when their handler indicates. do with that what you will.
Fun fact, if you’re white, you can easily smuggle things by just not watching the search.
The cop is watching you to know when to signal the dog to alert.
