Captain Wiggles Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Maybe the lil weed narcs can idk not work in law enforcement. There's plenty of job opportunities for dogs just waiting out there. They could be a fire rescue dog or a sled puller or a Lobster Dog or mayhaps even a whale poop detector. 🐋 💩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Those dogs just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Maybe they can work at the new Ford Battery plant in Virginia. Whoops. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Companies shut down plants and move production outside the USA with less concern for employees than these mofo's worrying about narc dogs. Oh, and their handlers. I forgot: those handlers have unions to protect their jobs. Edited February 17, 2023 by EmirOfShmo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately, the actual discussion here is not whether dogs are Good Dogs. It's whether "hey, we spent money in anticipation of using it a certain way, therefore we must continue to spend piles more money on criminalizing recreation." is a funny joke.

CobraCommander Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Plan B. George Santos can start a gofundme. Then he can keep all the money and dump the dogs in the Long Island sound. Don’t act like this isn’t a plausible plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 12 hours ago, tshile said: And it is a big deal. Obviously it’s not as big as some other issues but it’s a big deal. Those dogs and trainers cost money and are not easily replaced in terms of timeline. Sorry man, I'm not going to be swayed by "We can't legalize weed, think of the Sunk Cost Fallacy!" I could maybe buy the argument of "Hey, let's do a transition period, Marijuana will be fully federally legalized by 2030, so these departments can stop using these programs and begin attrition now to reduce to cost by that time," but I'd also be highly suspicious that police departments would simply refuse to do any planning ahead, continue to keep the K9 units fully staffed, then cry the same tune in 2030 and demand another pushback. It's not like there hasn't been a major push toward legalization over the last decade that these departments could have seen coming a mile away and have a backup plan for just that, but it seems like 99% of the time the police are like the military in terms of "hey, we need as much funding as possible this year, then we need to find some way (no matter how stupid or pointless) to spend it all so we can ask for more money next year, and repeat the cycle!" I'm also not swayed by the idea that a dog's job is more important than a human's freedom, but maybe that's just me. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say it was one that justified keeping pot illegal. The part of the issue with dogs I think worth noting is the holes in security it brings. Let's say legalized weed leads to it coming into airports now is just like cigarettes in your pocket. The drug dogs will now start alerting all over the place. The handlers can't search those people now because they could very well just have a legal product. But without those dogs, how much more illicit items (drugs, currency, etc) get through? Because those dogs aren't trained to alert to JUST pot or not. Edit: here is a link for those that care enough to comment but not enough to bother to spend the same amount of time Googleing the topic first. Quote The dogs trained on multiple drugs alert in the same way for all of them, so it’s impossible to tell whether they are indicating the presence of marijuana or an illicit drug. The dogs also cannot distinguish between a small, legal amount of marijuana or a larger, still-illegal amount of the drug. For police, that means they can no longer be used to establish probable cause for a search. “We won’t use our dogs trained in marijuana because that could be a defense an attorney would raise for a client, to say, ’Which odor did the K-9 alert on — was it marijuana or was it an illegal drug?” said Bedford County Sheriff Mike Miller. https://apnews.com/article/va-state-wire-police-marijuana-marijuana-legalization-253af1ba6e541060085108e027b367c1 Edited February 17, 2023 by TheGreatBuzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
