    A Maricopa County drug-sniffing dog and his handler were hailed as heroes after an alleged exposure to fentanyl, despite finding no drugs and receiving no medical diagnosis that would indicate exposure.

    Medical experts said the incident was an example of why law enforcement reports about the effects of drugs should be treated with skepticism.

    “Heroes,” you say.

    These dumb fucks are so afraid of the drug (which cannot be dosed by skin contact) that they pass out when they think they’ve touched it.

      I assume you know about transdermal patches, and that you just mean the powder form can’t be absorbed through the skin like the cops often claim.

    Fentanyl is no joke. I watched a documentary on Fentanyl and OD 4 times. It was hard because the 3rd time I died.

    It kinda sounds like he forgot to fill Max’s water bowl and then decided dehydration was the same as fentanyl exposure.

      Cops often treat their own dog’s like shit. Not shocking giving their proclivity for murdering citizen’s dog’s

    In the United States does not happen like CSI on TV

    When an officer wants something to be something it is and the judge overseeing the case in court later then agrees that if that is what the officer says it is then that is what it is and no laboratory tests are ever required or needed to confirm

    Combined with the use of Terry Stops the United States are a police officers’ oyster

    Police officers here also double as medical professionals and their opinions carry the same weight in courts as well documented medical academia would

    More like dogs of the elites than public servant peace officers

      When you lie under oath as a defense attorney, witness, or defendant versus the state, it is called “perjury.”

      When you lie under oath as a prosecutor, solicitor, district attorney, or cop, it’s called “Tuesday.”
