Episode 8: Legal Considerations; Narcotic Detection Dogs and Traffic Stops

It's not only important how to do what we do but why we can do what we do. In this episode, we enlist the help of Larry the A.I. He tells us about some key legal terms and important case law that supports our actions when using narcotic detection dogs. This is not legal advice and we recommend you do your own research and follow your policies and state case law. This information is based on SCOTUS and your state may have more protections provided to their citizens. We hope you enjoy this quick episode told by Larry the A.I.
