The main point that seems to be missed here is that in order for the dog to be able to do any type of search, it must *first* be removed from the transport vehicle. Without justifiable reasons, the dog should have never been removed from the troopers vehicle and; therefore, there would not have been this incident. In fact, there seems to be no relevant reason for the K-9 Officer stopping in the first place! This whole incident is flawed from the point that the K-9 Officer decided to roll up.

It amazes me almost daily the level of ignorance with regards to our Constitution and Bill of Rights that so-called "US Citizens" possess. What is even more amazing is that these same people that argue against just such an incident as this would be the same people that become miraculously Constitution educated when the table has been turned against them. Wake up America! Those documents were fought for and died for in order to put them into place to promote our freedom, even to this day. The only people that seem to realize this are the many Immigrants that seek citizenship in this great country. 20 years of military service and what I've fought for is slowly be destroyed... seems almost as if I've wasted all that time for people that just don't give a damn nor care about what we truely have in front of us. Sad!
