Federal appeals court: Drug dog that’s barely more accurate than a coin flip is good enough

"The problem here is that invasive searches based on no more than a government official's hunch is precisely what the Fourth Amendment is supposed to guard against."

This hits the nail on the head. The 4th amendment is designed to ensure that government has proper and just cause for a search of an individual's private residence or property. Again and again it is proven and demonstrated how easy it is to manipulate dogs to "alert". The longer the court system lets this problem go unregulated, the longer and more often it will be abused and used to violate individuals rights. Unfortunately for us, each individual citizen, an end does not seem near.
