It's just a plant!

I wasn't sure what the rule was before. I guess I was under the assumption they could hold you for a "reasonable amount of time" to wait for the doggie. And yes, I'm aware of what happens when one assumes.
So, BBI, how long does it take you, to give me a ticket?????
That depends. If I think something criminal may be afoot, digging a little deeper (which takes more time) falls under the realm of a, routine traffic stop.
Uhh, probably a real long time. I don't have a ticket book or an in car computer, so....yeah, awhile.
When I was on the street and doing handwritten tickets, I could get it done in 10 minutes or a bit under I'd say, as long as nothing was hinky and I was only writing one.
I'm just curious as to what changed, but haven't read the statement yet. Absent RS/PC you already can't hold anyone longer than it takes to finish the traffic stop to wait for a dog in Indiana. If you've got RS/PC of dope in the vehicle, then you aren't holding them for the traffic violation any longer. I know the basics, but I never cared much about dope one way or the other so never called for a dog that I can recall.

I've got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one, hit me.
Yeah, it does cut it. I don't run everybody to IDACS/NCIC, and no officer does. However, if your car has 20 air fresheners handing from the rear view mirror, has on a Grateful Dead t-shirt, and multiple cell phones in view (none of which are illegal), I will take the extra time to run that person's history, while the k9 is enroute; whereas I would not with a soccer mom, in sweats picking up her kids from the field.

profiling and fishing at its finest... Is it acceptable where you work to just pullover someone because of what they are wearing and air fresheners hanging on the mirror.
Keep up the good work and soon enough we will be watching you screaming at a citizen to stop resisting six to eight times while you're tazing him on Cops.
The last time I got a ticket, the officer ran my DL info through SCMODS (State,County Municipal,Offender,Data,System) and it took less than 5 minutes.He said my VW bus was cool.I gave him a couple piney air fresheners,and said have a good day, and went on.
So what do you do if the stop is taking too long? Tell him you are leaving, wait around for the dog and take him to the Supreme Court, or just peel out and raise the bullet proof shield?
Yesterday there was a squad car in front of me at the light. The light changed and the car just sat there with the officer looking down and doing something perhaps on the computer. I felt myself thinking about reaching for my horn. I didn't, but wondered how much trouble I would be in if i did? He eventually looked up and moved.

This decision really isn't about dogs. It's really more about detaining people without at least reasonable suspicion and pursuing unrelated criminal investigations. It wouldn't have mattered what means he used to investigate.This decision is long overdue.
"Drug" dogs are a scam. Their purpose is to create probable cause where there is none.
Lol, I have an emp in my car that I activate to thwart cameras.
I always find it funny how much the public doesn't understand about police work. You'd be a good candidate for a citizen's academy.
