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.

It wouldn't work that way here in Colorado, based on my previous post.
Maybe some other state...I don't know.
