It seems to me that for one, removing a K-9 dog out of a police car during a traffic stop for speeding that another police officer had already made would fall under erroneus behavior.

Having said that, and presuming the K-9 officer had made the traffic stop himself,and taken the dog out of the vehicle. K-9 dogs, contrary to popular belief, do NOT just randomly sniff the air for contraband continiously. They will not begin to "sniff" "detect" "search" for said odor unless a explcit command from the handler it relayed to the dogg.

Law enforcement already have in place, several laws in place to make sure evidence is not suppressed due to violations of 4th admenment rights, i.e. plain view, the good faith law, and extingent circumstances, none of which apply here.

It's not up to an officer's discretion to interpet the law or circumvent due process in ANY way shape or form.
