My question involves police conduct in the State of: washington
My question is regarding no consent impound of auto based off k9 alert on drugs after Marijuana was disclosed and found by officers prior to k9 being called in to search?
*What scope for investigation can officers use for k9 in wa state for drug search if possesion of marijuana is legal
*if marijuana was disclosed to officer on traffic stop (failure to use turn signal) but was within wa state law for possession what grounds for more investigation are there?
* are police k9's trained to alert on some drugs and not others (field officers not special units)
***summary of incident...
