Good for "most" of the people.

Your comparing having your whole life filmed to a dog sniffing a car for illegal substances? Lets put the spin magic away and live in reality.

If the dog sniffs at any given time when you're driving, it's the same thing. Basically the decision legalized random searches of anybody's car. If you don't see that, you trust the government too much.

I DO live in reality. That's why I know that the war on drugs is a completely made up government tool that has no basis in real life. The whole idea that substances can be illegal is relatively new, and it's proven to be a failure of an idea.

I have a hard time comparing a dog walking around my car making sure I don't have any drugs to having to get out of my car and having everything inside checked out with a fine tooth comb. I would have no problem having my car sniffed during a traffic stop. But it they wanted to go inside then that's a violation of my rights. And believe me I don't trust our current government with pretty much anything.

I also feel that the "War" on drugs is another crock of crap. It just like outlawing moonshine (funny word). But until drugs are legal, like they should be, then police should do everything within our rights to sniff them out (pun intended).

I guess our opinions are just different on this one. A dog's sense of smell is so acute that I really don't see a difference between a manual search and a dog sniffing search. Oh well.

Please show me the part in the Constitution where it says the government can regulate what kind of plants you carry in your trunk?

You know you can make that argument for almost every law that we know of right?

Where in the constitution does it say you can't speed? Where is the constitution does it say you can't urinate in public?

What's your point?

I think Eric got you on that one Funked and MVWRX. But I do see this as a illegal search method. And it scares me what they will be doing next if continue on with this trend.

I agree...where do we draw the line.
Really, is pot that big of a threat?

Im not even worried about the pot issue. Im more worried about when they install little black boxes that tell the cops when we are speeding a little over. And stuff like that, which takes away our rights.
