I mean, if there are questions about the veracity of drug sniffing dogs I wonder what a decent defense attorney would do with a mere human.

I wonder if there isn't a fair amount of profiling occurring. With profiling comes a host of problems not the least of which includes violating the Fourth Amendment's reasonable suspicion clause. That is to say, if I determined from my experience or studies that trucks driving 101 in the Titlow Hill area are largely transporting illegal marijuana then there is good case to be made that any truck that I pull over will have some marijuana aboard. Since there is no reasonable suspicion beyond the general rule that is arbitrarily created for the express purpose of searching vehicles without meeting generally accepted levels of proof, then that evidence should really be excluded because even a broken clock is right twice a day and that is no justification for violating the public's right to free travel without the fear of government intervention and interference. Simply because a target is found to be transporting does not justify the larger question of the search. Far too often, we will hear of the arrests and the bookings, but what we don't hear about are the failures in what could very well be the systematic search of arbitrary vehicles.
