TranscriptionA Twitter post by Kylie Cunningham @kyyylieeeee that reads “today at the airport one of the drug dogs set off a false alarm and officers rushed over to find out the dog had alerted them for a piece of pizza. the handler just patted his head and goes "it's okay buddy i know pizza always confuses you" and gave him his treat anyways.”

This dog 100% has his handler trained

[–] running_ragged@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even better: the pizza dude and the handler are both on the take, and its how they get the drugs through security.

~~get the drugs through security~~ confiscate "suspicious" pizza slices for "internal examination"

My son got stopped at an immigration checkpoint. He was freaking out because he had a weed vape in his pocket. After a car search they realized that the k9 alerted on his dog who was in heat.

more like stupid. do not carry illegal weed vapes through the immigration checkpoint and you don't want to freak out. it is what i would do if i really wanted to immigrate somewhere.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Immigration checkpoints in Southern California aren't just for immigrants. They stop everyone to scan for immigrants, and you have to pass through them when you go to certain places. Weed vapes are legal under state law in California, but illegal under Federal law.

if you're gonna do it, at least do it semi-smart

bury it in a trash bag in your trunk or something and claim it's from cleaning up road side debris

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yeah. but we are talking about real world here, not your teenage anarchist wet dream. and in the real world, unfortunately, it is always the state which ends up fucking you, it is never the other way around. see, the person in the story, no matter whether real or imaginary, wanted to emigrate from somewhere and the reason was probably... guess what - the state.

I'm not sure how this is 🥺🥺🥺, the trainer is literally reinforcing negative behaviour

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

False hits are considered positive behaviour. Drug dogs are just for show to violate citizens rights. A loophole.

Drug dogs are probably less accurate than the pseudo science "lie detector" test.

Police dogs are even worse. Their entire purpose is to find and severely injure a suspect and turn them into a felon. Here's how it works. Cops release dog on suspect. Dog finds suspect and begins to severely attack suspect. Suspect tries to fight the dog ripping a hole in its arm or leg. Suspect is now guilty of assaulting an officer. At this point is doesn't matter if the suspect was guilty of anything else. They are now a felon.

It's 🥺🥺🥺 because it's a fake story made by a child.

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is a drug AND pizza dog. His trainer probably gets an awful lot of free pizza.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sausage is a common first step in training dogs from what ive read. Train the pup on find the chunks of sausage the handler has hidden and he gets them, then switch to treats, then swap out the sausage for drugs/ bombs.

I wonder if the dog signals whenever he smells pizza with sausage on it, remembering the first stage of the training.

This whole thing about "drug dogs" is junk science in service of security theater. Laughably phony.

The sad part is the animal abuse - both dogs and humans.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

yep they're usually going by the owner's hints which means it's technically 4A violation. they're just an excuse to circumvent probable cause by creating it ad hoc.

little did the handler know, the pizza was filled with drugs

[–] tangonov@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

I get it. Pizza is like crack to me, too

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And then I started vomiting it was so cute. The dog collapsed from joy and also started vomiting, as did the trainer. Soon the whole terminal was vomiting and crying tears of happiness. And then we all fucked as doves flew overhead shitting out rainbows and butterflies.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then we all fucked

Wait... were the dogs involved? There could be legal complications.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Laughing at the idea of you walking in on a terminal-wide orgy, seeing dogs, and thinking “Hmm, not sure this is legal with them here.”

The dog just figured out how addictive pizza can be and assumes it is a drug.

But also... What if they hid drugs in the pizza crust? 🤔
