Yeah and the same as with pigs and whatever they're going for it's never going to come to fruition because turns out you can't subtly signal a bee that it should find something
Pigs are another favourite and they've been "testing" both since I was a wee lad, but turns out all the cop science is just shit they make up anyways. It's a dog, train it half-way right and it'll intuitively listen to you because, you know, we've been breeding them to do exactly that for about ten thousand years.
The whole idea of trusting any animal to supply probable cause is deeply, deeply fucked once you think about it but this goes especially for dogs which are basically genetically inclined to be friends
haha "cop science" is definitely how I'm going to think of it from now on. dogs alert when you tell them to, fingerprints aren't remotely unique, DNA evidence is kind of sketchy, and lie detector tests are no better than dowsing
When I was like 17 some cops came to my parents' house to inquire about a crime and they got me alone in my room to talk to teary-eyed me. "I'm really sorry, I didn't do anything and I don't know anything, please leave me alone!" The cop asked me if I would be willing to take a lie detector test, and I said "those aren't admissible right? cause you guys just make up the result?" guy stared at me blankly for several seconds and shrugged and said "we can still ask." never been a doubt in my mind since that day that cops know perfectly well how stacked their science is

Pretty much all of forensic "Science" is cop science. Even DNA analysis is sketchy as hell and they screw it up all the time.
