Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The dog is a member of the police force and a police officer. They even have a badge and everything. Messing with one is like messing with a human officer. You will lose, except have a few puncture wounds to prove it.

a dog is a dog.
if the dog is used by police to fight crime then it's a dog that's used by police to fight crime.
a dog is not a cop.

Poor Dog
Dog gone...couldn't he just mace the dog like they do little kids?
Dogs don't search w/o a warrant just because they can 'hit' on scents that are imperceptible to humans.. part of their nature.. just as seeing a bag of weed on a dash gives cop reasonable suspicion to search..smelling it gives the dog such.Originally Posted by HBARleatherneck
Well this isn't entirely true, there are tons of warrant-less searches.
I have no idea about the K9 portion but I am sure a big part of the arrest or detention had to do with the intoxication...
A great clue to intoxication, other than the odor, would be comments like, "He started it."

I do see your point, but if I smell a controlled substance it can often be considered "Plain view, plain smell" and not require a warrant...
But I am not a dog handler so I don't spend a lot of time researching the dog rules
Here in Colorado, the state supreme court came out several years ago and stated officers in Colorado cannot run a dog on a vehicle for no reason. Can't do it because you're bored, can't do it because the driver is a jerk. There has to be some articulable reason to do so, and they are very specific as to what those reasons are.
Now, if the vehicle has been towed as part of an arrest, then I'm not sure on that. I've heard two different statements from the K9 officers on that situation.
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
then explain to me why my brother in laws dog has a badge and is listed as an officer on the PD website? Why my uncles dog in the Mass state Troopers has a badge and is listed as an officer? When I asked them they said the killing of a police dog or attacking a dog is considered assault on a police officer.
If you could explain it to me and where they are wrong I would greatly appreciate it..thanks.
joe
