Wouldn't be hard to fake an alert. Do Cops do this I haven't seen or heard of it. I couldn't count how many false alerts I've seen over the years though.
They don't bark when they "alert", but you knew that.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Hum why do you guys want a police state?

Here's one for ya.

Fort Worth Texas. About 20 minutes to midnight. I was pulled over doing 59 in a 55. All lights in working order, licensed and tagged, driving straight and no moving violations.

A Ft. Worth cop pulls me over. I'm very polite and hand him my insurance and registration he asked for. He goes back to his car and runs my info. He comes back and ask me to step out of the car. I do so and ask if there is a problem. He tells me "not yet" and walks up to my car while at the same time he tells me to stay there. He does not ask to search my car, there is nothing that should raise is suspension of anything. He starts looking in my car... not looking in the window, but opened the door and started looking around. I ask him what he's doing and why he's going through my vehicle.

To make a long story short, he calls for backup and I was arrested to interfering with the officer. The officer finds nothing. The charges were later dropped and I was released with out bond. This arrest is not on my record and nothing came out of it at all.

Not sure if he was just having a bad day or just an ass hole, but either way they can do what ever they want when they want and make shit up as they go along.

I'm not saying that all cops are like this or that this happens all the time. I can say that this happened to me for no apparent reason.
