In the article they stated one of the drivers did that, so they brought in a “drug dog” that of course signaled at the car so they took that as cause to search. I bet that dog just signals at every car it sees
At least in the US, the police found that the chances that a drug dog actually finds drugs is about 50/50. Which are not odds they like when it means they have to get a warrant, do the minimum amount of explaining to a judge, and do their job for once. So they found it was easier to train drug dogs to respond to signals and jump at a car on small signals or command. That way they jump on the cops suspicion and their 50% turns to 100%. If they find drugs then great, the dog let them bypass the warrantt and true due process. If not, then you have no recourse for action. Drug sniffing dogs for your local middle of nowhere PD are a joke.
"The dog didn't miss a single drug dealer's car, it's just great!"
