Up in Smoke
What doesn't make sense, to me anyway, is how this case made it to a federal appeals court in Atlanta? In 2003? An explanation from my overpaid C&S lawyer's bar would be welcome.

I think they know it's unconstitutional, but it's so successful, and they make so much through cash and car seizures, that they stop an enormous number of cars and immediately bring in a dog. They have profiles they use, and then look for a problem as an excuse to stop them. I hope they throw the book at these bastards.

"No. Was there anything else? Because I need to be on my way, now."
