Heh. I haven't been lawfully robbed by the cops, but I was robbed. This s--t needs to end.

I think even worse than the way the law has been manipulated is the fact that there are at least some uniformed LEO's who are willing to confiscate property based entirely upon a dog's reaction. Search the property based on the reaction? Well ok, that is sensible, but to confiscate it based solely upon your pooch? Something in your conscience should tell you that this is wrong. Somehow I do not think that most LEO's would do this as I know many fine men in uniform who put themselves in harms way each and every day, and who also are respectable gentlemen.
