LAS VEGAS -- A group of Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and a retired police sergeant have filed a racketeering complaint against the NHP and Las Vegas Metro Police in U.S. District Court.

The complaint alleges that after then-Gov. Jim Gibbons approved a K-9 program to target drug runners on Nevada's highways, Nevada Highway Patrol Commander Chris Perry intentionally undermined the program.

The complaint alleges that the drug-sniffing dogs used by troopers in the program were intentionally being trained to operate as so-called trick ponies, or dogs that provide officers false alerts for the presence of drugs.

Not relevant to the 2a but something for everyone to look at and be aware of.

4A issues are just as important for gun owners as 2A. The war on some substances is a war on both 4A and 2A rights.

I'd like to know in the end if this isn't just an internal turf war. The colonel trying to abscond with the ceremonial check and deposit it into the general NHP fund seems to be a sticky point.

False claims of positive hits are nothing new. In actual blind testing, police K9s are notoriously inaccurate. Even when presented with solid evidence of overwhelming false positives by one specific dog (63 false out of 85 "hits"), this U.S. District judge in Virginia ruled it was close enough for probable cause.

I have said for many years that dogs are trained by police to "alert" by and alert that the officer gives.

I believe that the offices of the DSHS, IRS, DCS, police, and more should be charged under the RICO statute.
