    That’s probably because they used all your drugs

    Drug sniffing dogs don't really work in most cases. They're mainly responding to cues from their handlers.

    The article mentions they aren't necessarily wrong, they just aren't finding a stash. Aka, wipe your coke nose off with your sleeve, dog smells it on the sleeve, doesn't mean you still have a bag of coke on you. Aka no drugs "found" but the dog isn't wrong who had coke on them

    That's also not what's said.

    There's plenty of articles debunking this. Other articles make it more clear, that the dogs are responding to their handlers intuitions, in order to make them happy and get treats.

    That there "was once drugs in the area in the past some time" or else where at the rave/nightclub/house party, so residual odor claims can be made." isn't the same as confirming that's what the dog was picking up on.

    You're falling for cop-logic.

    Here's more studies on it. It's widely debunked.

    I think the biggest truth that goes unsaid is that cops use sniffer dogs the same way they use lie detectors - as a means of pressuring suspects.

    No, but they'll eat your corpse if you die.

    I mean they probably wouldn't by choice, of they were able to operate a can opener I bet it'd be a different story. History has shown humans will eat a corpse rather than starve to death too.

    Cats won't wait until your body is cold before they start.

    Cats would rat you out on a whim if they had the skills.

    They do have the skills. We can prove it.

    And they don't rat. Cats don't snitch.

    Unless you mean 'hunt you like a rat and murder you with alarming sadism'. Large cats will do this. They're adorable.
