I seem to remember stories of the DEA using infrared equipment from helicopters to detect growing operations (the heat from all the grow lamps). If that was legal then this is too.



That wasn't legal. Read my previous post.

Dogs can be easily manipulated into giving signals that capricious enforcers of law want. And those same capricious enforcers of law can just claim that they got a signal from a creature that can not be cross examined or held to legal account for its actions...

The court will revisit this dynamic.



That's a problem that will always exist in law enforcement. It doesn't matter if there is a dog or not. What you're going on is the word of the officer.

Police officers are sworn to uphold the law. In order to do that effectively a large amount of trust must be placed in them. That trust can be, and often is, abused.

The only way to get rid of it completely is to get rid of police, but I think that would cause more problems than it would solve.

It's not enough to go into a house, but they do use it to identify houses they need to pay special attention to.

Thus, the anonymous tip. Or a bullshit false positive from a drug dog.

Are we starting to understand now?

Understand what?

I was raised by a cop. I know all their tricks.
