Jun 27, 2022 at 21:10 comment added JonathanReez @phoog a dog that sensitive would be pretty useless in practice as too many people smoke/handle weed these days. As mentioned, the police loves to make people believe they've got ultra high tech tools (or dogs in this case) that will catch every single criminal but reality is far more disappointing.
Jun 27, 2022 at 19:55 comment added phoog @JonathanReez I once had a car share car where I found some weed from the previous user. I know it was the previous user because he was there trying to get his weed when I picked up the car. A drug sniffing dog took a bit of an interest in me two weeks later at the baggage claim, but not enough of an interest for the officer to do anything about it. When my wife and I were talking about it on the way home, we realized that I was wearing the same trousers I'd worn in the weed car -- but they'd been washed twice since then.
Jun 27, 2022 at 18:25 comment added JonathanReez I'd note that drug sniffing dogs are far less efficient in practice than law enforcement wants us to believe. Its easy to boast on TV about how good they are, but real life is harder: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24631776 (see the mention of car searches).
