H/T Radley Balko at Huffington Post.
Please remember this video the next time someone says, “Well if you have not done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.” The officer admits putting illegal narcotics on cars randomly around town–enough to have a dog “alert” to anyone’s car, whether they have ever used drugs or not. This isn’t an officer “caught on tape.” The officer readily admits that this is what he does.
To fully appreciate the video above, you should watch this video first. This victim of police misconduct filed a lawsuit against town and officer. A year or two later, his attorney gets his opportunity to question the officer in a deposition. That’s what the above video is all about.
There is a drug detection dog case pending before the Supreme Court this term. Read the Cato amicus brief in that case to learn more about the law on the matter.

The gist: On December 4th 2011, StarTrek fans Terrance Huff and Jon Seaton are stopped illegally after a StarTrek Exhibition for suspected drug transportation in Collinsville, Illinois. Award winning filmmaker Terrance Huff does a breakdown of an illegal traffic stop and subsequent search involving a K9 Officer who has a questionable past. The dog search begins 9:50 and is followed by evidentiary video.
"A seizure that is justified at its inception may become unreasonable if it is unreasonably prolonged in duration. Thus, if the sole reason for the stop is to issue a warning to the motorist, the stop becomes unreasonable if it is prolonged beyond the time reasonably necessary to issue the warning..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_v._Caballes
