  • they are not trained to smell

    but that doesn't mean they don't smell anything

    These are two different statements saying different things. Yes, police dogs often have noses that function. No, police dogs often do not require their noses in order to get the response the handler is wanting.

    And I was specifically referring to US k9s, but here are polish dogs. Their efficacy in cars, which is what I was referring to although did not explicitly state, is only 57%. Im still looking at other sources to find a more reliable, hopefully first hand, study.

  • He didn't say they don't smell anything. He said they're trained to respond to their handler. What he said is true. Even if it's not what they're intentionally training, it is a verifiable fact that most k9s respond more to their handlers body language than to any actual substance they're smelling.

  • Chaos!

  • Yeah but that would raise my commute to two hours daily. And an hour of that would be biking home after midnight in a town where I'm very likely to get shot, stabbed, and mugged. Probably at the same time.

    Not to mention my bike getting stolen and the fact that I'd likely get stopped by the police here every night due to dark skin
