A 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.”
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.
Lucky
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.
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.

Meh. Fuck the state.
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
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
Well the whole thing is a charade to enable arbitrary searchers...
It's 🥺🥺🥺 because it's a fake story made by a child.
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.
He is a drug AND pizza dog. His trainer probably gets an awful lot of free pizza.
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.

Making dogs be cops is so absolutely fucked. I get that there are working breeds but last time I checked there weren’t any breeds predisposed to fascism
Edit: other than Dobermans obviously
Let's just not forget that those dogs are also trained to smell exposives which can be a cool thing not to have aboard an airplane.
Then those dogs, in airport and in police settings, are correctly cared for. And even if acab, these dogs aren't tools of fascism.
I love dogs, but everything the police use to do their jobs are tools of fascism. Airport security has never actually caught a bomb or a terrorist, it's literally just theatre.

The justification is that they're supposed to smell explosives (and they fail at that with an incredible rate anyways), but they're used to harass non-white people. Security theater doesn't actually help with security.
Let's just not forget that this stuff is pseudo-scientific security theater.
Probable cause generator, maybe. Pseudoscience, no — dogs can be trained to have low false positive rates. It just so happens they're trained to generate probable cause, more than they are detecting drugs/bombs.
Drug and bomb sniffing dogs are separate though. A dog can't be both.

Well-trained dogs can provide useful services to a community in thwarting or arresting violent criminals, sniffing out dangerous substances or finding people. They can be a valuable part of both security and rescue forces.
But they're only as good as their handlers and trainers. When the security force themselves are violent criminals, armed to the teeth with dangerous substances and making people disappear...
This feels made up but it made me smile regardless
100%. no professional trainer rewards unwanted behaviour, that's why they are professional trainers.
dumb people on twitter, who think unwanted behaviour is cute, on the other hand...
no professional trainer
We’re talking about cops, not professionals. The dog’s job is to watch the cop handler and bark when they indicate, but not be too obvious about it.

It's a big world out there, mate, with a loooooot of people in it. Do you never, ever, ever do a thing that you're not supposed to do?

little did the handler know, the pizza was filled with drugs
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.
I get it. Pizza is like crack to me, too
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.
And then we all fucked
Wait... were the dogs involved? There could be legal complications.
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? 🤔

Pizza is just that good.
