I know this is a repeat topic, but this is just such an egregious example of legalized looting, I just had to...at the point you can analyze their efforts to allow drug sales so they can take the money on the way back, this is getting to the point of state sponsored drug running. To let someone go and five weeks later charge them based on a dog alert and no evidence is even worse, prbably because of all the noise about it, they felt they had to to cover up the looting...

    A lot of sentiment we see in here I see on that. I am amazed this issue has not become much more well know, I mean Beyonces Lemonade took the web and millions, yet apparently, government theft is not as high on the priority list... weird..

    I agree. Let's stop being wussies and just openly start getting rid of the key parts of the constitution. Americans are ready, now. They'll take it.

    Let's get something straight...The "drug sniffing dog" is a joke. Might as well have a witch doctor come out and toss some chicken bones on the ground. Yet, Americans (in their obedient, blind exuberance) go right along with it. I saw a video where a couple was refusing to roll their windows down for cops and one cop openly threatened to take their kids and to have the drug dog come over. The father was yelling, "Don't bring that dog over here!" He knew where that would head.

    Sad, really...

    I thought the telling thing was the interrogation to find some shred they could use, and then releasing him after not even mentioning the reason they stopped him. Clearly a setup, yet tolerated in our glorious democrapcy we have created.

    Stealing his money is obviously wrong, and the justification for the search is wrong. If I tell the police I saw something illegal in his car, that's a reason to get a warrant to search it. If I'm lying, I can get in legal trouble. If they take the word of annoymous tipsters or a frickin' dog (it sounds like a joke), then there's no accountability. They can just search anything they want. If that's the rule, they should save resources by dispensing with the dogs and repealing the Fourth Amendment.
