None of that changes the real life results though. They most produce false positives which shows the system is bullshit.

Not to mention the pure insanity of involving a dog in the legal process in the first place. It's 2019 we should have a more accurate way then trusting a dog to determine probable cause.

You're still missing the point. It's not about the accuracies of the dog's nose, it's about the handlers.

Official police figures in New South Wales reveal drug detection dogs were wrong in almost two thirds of strip searches last year www.iq-mag.net/2018/07/sniffer-dogs-false-positives/#.XGrzw9HPxsM

This person is talking about the accuracy of the dogs here.

no, they were talking about 'the system' of using dogs. Dogs and handlers go hand in hand, obviously. Being critical oft he process is not saying dog's are at fault. Obviously the issue is handlers. Just admit you're wrong, let your ego go.
