The officers also tried to warn residents that a police dog named Loki was present, but their attempts to do so in Spanish were nonsensical, according to court records.
“Pedo policía pedo la madera,” officers repeatedly said, which a translator later found meant, “Fart police, fart the wood.”
Eventually, the officers entered the home and arrested the man they were looking for. After that man’s arrest, the officers entered the bedroom where Guerrero-Salmeron was and commanded the police dog to bite the man. The dog bit Guerrero-Salmeron, who was unarmed, on the arm for about 15 seconds as he held up his tourist visa and ID.
Attack dogs are one thing on a very long list of things we need to abolish…
It’s debatable if we even need “sniffing” dogs, but if we do they need to be fucking bloodhounds and not German Shepherds.
Sniffing dogs from the fart police? An interesting concept indeed…
Along with any motherfucker that thinks its an acceptable form of street retribution
Dogs are fantastic for the police, and if you’re a criminal, they’re much better than getting shot.
Nonsensical, your request for abolishment is REJECTED.
The cops need the dogs as probable cause generators.
I moved to a border area in 2018. The first time I went through a CBP checkpoint I watched the agent tap the side of my campervan; when the dog “alerted” (looked where he tapped) they pulled me out of line for an inspection. Totes legit.
They put me on the bench where the handcuffs were hanging. It took ~45mins to toss the camper interior.
Since then I’ve been through checkpoints countless times with no pullouts or dog “alerts”. IMO the most likely explanation is they wanted an excuse to inspect the camper at first contact.
Want
And I’m saying we should stop letting them have them
I agree, I was being facetious, and agreeing they’re only used as probable cause generators, which isn’t right.
justice department wants them as well. They need all the help they can get filling their private prisons.
Now that you mention it I’m surprised ICE doesn’t use them. I’m sure they’d love it. “There’s a tanned person over there! Get!”
Dogs require handlers to grow up with the dog, and ICE thugs are too incompetent for things like “training” and “staying employed for more than a year”.
I understand that but I don’t think that would be any of ICE’s concerns.
Sniffing dogs are useful for more than just drugs/explosives, they can be used to help find lost/missing/kidnapped people and find buried bodies.
You DO NOT cross train the dogs…where I can’t see problems that a cadaver dog would cause, cross training a bomb and drug dog is a disaster waiting to happen
Put a cross trained drug and bomb dog in the airport and itd probably bring hings to a standstill lol.
Those are called cadaver dogs and like you said very useful for finding people needed to be found.
Given the name, are they only trained for dead bodies, or the same dog also tracks lost people?
In most tests, coin flips outperform dogs for both drugs and explosives.
No fucking way, stop making shit up.

“less than courts assume” is a COMPLETELY different thing. Ffs.
Did you read the stats in the article?
Bees are better and more ethical than dogs.
https://worldbeeproject.org/2023/06/08/training-bees-to-detect-bombs/
You can train them to search for any smell.
But nonorganic methods to “smell” exist too
Well thats pretty cool, but also a far way off from tracking something.
You train a bee to smell a person who was lost on a mountain and they’ll be like oh ya, they were here, this spot is great give me my sugar, instead of tracking them and leading you 20km away.
Crazy how you both learned about something and became an expert at it at the same time…
So I’m just gonna block you now, because you’re going to keep making assumptions and thinking they’re correct until someone explains it. And then just repeating the process.
Any exchange with you would just be pointless.
lol okay dude. The article didn’t make any mention of being able to have them follow something, just find something. Sniffing dogs need to follow something. (edit: and they are trained to follow it as they keep finding it while also being led on by the handlers as needed)
I’ve had givessomefucks tagged as “confidently incorrect” for years. It’s kinda their thing.
Well then, I must have really hit a nerve to get immediately blocked if he actually blocked me 🤣
That’s why you have to appoint a head bee guy
The bee bit my bottom! Now my bottom’s complaining
Your bottom should appreciate the extra size though
In all fairness, I don’t speak Spanish, but the other comments here are breaking it down pretty clearly, that the officers spoke some really piss poor Spanish.
As far as police dogs, different dogs and even different dog breeds are trained exclusively for specific tasks…
I’m no full expert on this, but I do know for a fact that they train different police dogs for specific tasks, and often (but not always) train specific exact breeds for specific tasks.
Still, dog in Spanish is perro, not that other word they said…
If they didn’t roll the R right, I can see hearing “pehdo”
