Despite only being trained to detect the "big six" (cannabis, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and MDMA) drug dogs are somehow magically able to provide probable cause to search packages that their chud handlers think might have abortion medication. The cops explain this by saying that abortion drugs are commonly packaged around narcotics.
Love how police don't have to provide any evidence for their claims, and also don't have to understand any of these pesky laws they get paid six figures to enforce. Fourth amendment, what's that? Doesn't apply to dogs, right?
Every independent test that's been done has shown absolutely no sign of this. Super mysterious!
We taught this police dog to understand what he was doing.
He reached for his partners’ service weapon before locking himself in the back of a hot cop car.
About two-thirds of abortions in the U.S. in 2023 were done with mifepristone and misoprostol.
how do they mail the dog? I don't understand, isn't that wildly impractical?
I think they are talking about dogs that will be stationed and sniffing in the places where mail has to pass through to be sent to the correct destination.
Right. The specific scenario they're concerned about is someone sending in a "tip" that a particular person or organization is mailing out abortion medication, then the cops intercepting all the mail from that person or organization and having a dog alert on it so they can get a warrant to open it and seize the contents. This works even if the dogs aren't trained to sniff out any of those drugs, because handlers can "cue" the dog to alert on anything they want to (deliberately or not). This is also how lots of K9 traffic stops work.
A perfect example of how drug sniffing dogs are just legalized parallel construction.
These fuckers know exactly what they're doing. Dogs wouldn't do this unless they were trained to do it. May these assholes have a slow, very painful death.
They're not.
Not reading the full article but it is painfully obvious from the first 2 paragraphs that the dog didn't detect it and the cop wasn't looking for Abortion pills.
Pill shipper needs to up their stealth. Even pink envelopes is way too much.
No, of course they're not. This is made up bullshit to run cover from them just searching shit whenever they want to.
Please let the USPS pigs get into a shootout with the local pigs
