It's never a bad idea to get a lawyer.

Sorry, it's their word against yours.  Cops can turn nearly anything into "probable cause".  It's bullshit but that's the system. :nonono:

Best of luck to you man.
I had something similar happen to me and they found a quarter on me. After all was said and done, it cost me $100.00 to the court.
Could have been worst.
Hopefully you are not in one of the states who are real strict with weed.
Peace.

Wow, what pricks.

That sucks man, but really a lawyer would probably tell you to pay the fine. A judge will side with law enforcement 99.9% of the time.

That sucks man :sad:

Sounds like they played close enough to by-the-books that it'd be hard to fight.  The guys in the Security/Safety forum might have some advice based on what state you're in, but it sounds like you probably just have to take the charge.... best of luck in resolving your situation.

It sounds like the dog is usually just an excuse to search  vehicle, probably indicates a "hit" for everyone :thumbdown:.

Get a lawyer, fight the charge, you did the right thing by exercising your RIGHTS, and that makes you a genius if I may say so:)

How does one go about fighting a charge like this?  If they haven't written a ticket yet, they're within their rights to detain you (while writing the ticket) getting the dog to come for a sniff.  If the dog indicates a hit, that's probable cause for a search. 

The only way I can think to fight it is if they don't send the 'cano into a lab to prove it was used on cannabis (since other herbs may be vaporized).

dude, illigal search, they were just trying to scare you to get into the car, you could have still said no...but yeah dude, that charge is like nothing, a small fine and maybe some classes

I'm pretty sure a drug dog indicating a hit is probable cause in the USA... that doesn't vary state to state, does it?

i know for fact that most cops use this tactic just to scare you into getting into your car...my friend's mom and dad are ex cops, and this has also happened to me once, i told them no, he went back in his car for what seemed like an hour, came back out and said that i was free to go

Edit: Looks like I'm only finding that drug dog sniffs are being upheld by different state supreme courts, not turning up a federal ruling.  I guess what state you're in could potentially give grounds to fight this charge, but I really wouldn't expect that line of attack to lead anywhere.

No it wasn't an illegal search.

If the cop used only a dog to indicate and search then this incident most likely happened in a state where this crap flies.

get a lawyer, no matter how small

sounds like they had zero reason to believe you had "drugs" or "paraphernalia"

you seemed nervous? big whoop, so does everyone.

they probably thought you looked like a drug user.

i am in a non drug related case.

the police entered my house, no reasonable cause, and the officer hardly remembered shit.

my mother sure remembered the intrusion.

also contact internal affairs, and literally make their lives tough until they do something positive. it will help.

based on what you said they acted in a biased, profiling manner.

you where speeding? ok, heres your ticket. no, you did not consent.

if his report says anything to the contrary, refute it.

stand up, man, evn if it seems out of line or not worth it, he really had no reason to search you, at all.

dont bend over, just take shit seriously.
