CALDWELL, Idaho Canyon County's dog-sniffing crackdown on drugs has produced marked results in its initial weeks, but its legality is still being question by the American Civil Liberties Union.Sheriff George Nourse said drug-sniffing dogs have been used to check vehicles in three small parking lots in recent weeks and ``some marijuana was seized and misdemeanor citations issued.''
So far, Nourse said, the department is focusing the dogs on users rather than dealers because ``users make up the biggest part of the drug scene, and they're the ones causing the most problems.''But while he declined to give any details of those investigations, the sheriff said six drug dealers were arrested in the past two weeks as a result. Three pounds of marijuana, three ounces of methamphetamine and more than $3,000 in cash were also seized.Click the above link to read the whole story!

sniffing dogs
does anybody know how to neutralise traces of smell left by pot so it would be undetectable to a sniffing dog ?
