Drug Dog Legal Defenses Class In General Thoughts And Arguments

I looked into the laws a bit and had the case laughed @ by the D.A before court was ever near. In this thread
Ill explain how someone else may go about beating a case whereas a drug dog may be concerned. Keep in
mind I'm not trying to post my life story here and while you can attempt to use some info here, area laws are
always different and sometimes getting @ simple points and making them to be a big deal can go a long way
so long as its worded within the law in your defense.

First things first...
If you ever happen to be busted because of the presence of a drug sniffing dog. Keep your mouth shut. If authorities ask any questions excersise your 5th amendment rights and dont say anything, after drugs are found, anything that is said by the possessor can be used for the case and according to the 5th amendment, you are not required to say or admit to any information that may incriminate yourself but so often police attempt to get you to do so hoping that you dont know your rights.

Now, you've been busted, jailed, bailed out and so forth and are sitting @ home waiting on your day in court to find out the ultimate outcome of the situation.
Get to looking up some records on the dog handler and also the k-9 that was used to get your arrest.
IF a dog or its handler (either or) is NOT certified then anything that was brought into the case because of them is generally inadmissible in court, meaning they will have a hell of a hard time in order to use that as evidence.

That's all for the moment as Ive got somewhere else to be in the next few minutes, but next Ill be giving examples from a case in the state of Florida, Fl has some of the roughest laws in the states that I've been to thus far so I feel its a good example of how things can go if you know your stuff. I'll also be getting into the issue of probable cause and what then serves or could be used as so and how LEO will always claim there's probable cause even if there is not.

now lets chat about the probable cause thing, many a cases without dogs even are won using this defense.
Police cannot search without your consent without having a warrant which probable cause is needed for. Probable cause is the reason that they would need to go through your belongings legally. It must be a reason in which without a doubt (key thing there) would suggest that you are somehow breaking the law with your property and allow them to search to see if you are breaking the law and to take the evidence needed for court.
IF LEO are searching for drugs, all states that Ive helped people in, require the warrant to list the items in specifics in which they may be searching for. They cannot just list general terms for most things such as "illegal drugs" they would have to list "marijuana", "cocaine" etc...

From my knowledge, For the police to sieze someones computer, the probable cause, and an order on the warrant to do so must be obtained with the search warrant used to enter ones home. I very well could be mistaken but I believe thats something done nationally in the U.s but of course, local law always rules despite whatever federal law might state despite this supposed to be opposite and Ill always argue that area will win over fed, simply because it does in 90% of cases).

In a good many of southern states, People know that a locking compartment(many just think the glovebox and trunk but its generally anything that locks) in a motor vehicle is illegal to search without a warrant or a dog striking on the vehicle. Reason that officers cannot search in these areas in states with that law is lack of probable cause. Warrantless searches are serching for obvious and harmfull things that may be a harm to the officer immediately. This would be an example of a pat down looking for weapons (if they feel anything other than weapons they cant just reach in and pull out your grass or etc, other than where weapons are concerned) Another example would be the officer looking in the immediate area of the vehicle you get stopped in to make sure there are no weapons laying around to harm him with.

If an officer is to find something in one of these warrant less searches, it can be used as evidence legally if there was probable cause for that search in the first place.

A glove box, trunk, or other locked containers in these states are a legal defense for the lack of probable cause. Now many people would say, "why could they not have a weapon in those locked containers?" Simply put, they could. BUT how are they to open that LOCKED container while the officer is present, retrieve the weapon and harm him before the officer could defend himself?
And how would you be able to open or lock the container to hide contraband while the keys are to be in the vehicle ignition going down the road (albeit some vehicles will allow you to remove the key most will not)?

There is no reason while these things should be easily done by the public masses and therefore there needs to be a warrant to violate your privacy in these states such as that. (However that is not true to all states some can and will make you open the container if you consent to a search)

A drug dog striking outside the vehicle can be used as probable cause to obtain a warrant to any of the private domains of the car because *surprise*, the entire vehicle is in public when on the roadways. If it were sitting on private property, its not probable cause for a warrant alone.

Odd how probable cause works @ times, it can end up being quite confusing sometimes as well. Where as LEO dogs are concerned, a good defense is trying to make it seem like they had no reason to have been using them in the first place or have violated your privacy rights in some means by using them.

Keep in mind as I've said before, sometimes your just F()kt!

another good case to read up on if someone needs some ideas as how to find a defense.
