that's the part that is so outrageous -- similarly to the Steven Anderson case, they are using these dogs not to actually FIND drugs, but to create an excuse to seize cash/search/arrest/harass/intimidate in situations where they otherwise have essentially zero basis doing anything other than sulking off to their loser spouses and their inbred children.
