FISH GOTTA SWIM, DOGS GOTTA SNIFF

Re: Top Court Limits Use Of Sniffer Dogs, April 26.

The judges of our nation have so sided with thugs, drug pushers, 
murderers and other criminals that if I were a policeman I would 
resign. Our Supreme Court judges do not live in a real world if they 
think drug-sniffing dogs violate some perceived 'right' for drug 
dealers to carry on their criminal activity. In fact, it could be 
argued that if it were not for the judges we might not have a big 
drug problem in the first place.

They, through their myopic rulings are making law enforcement a joke 
and criminal activity a thriving business. Moreover, they encourage 
young people to break the laws -- "Take your drugs to school and pass 
them out and we'll protect you from having them seized," they say. 
They let brazen criminals off with little more than a slap on the 
wrist and if that seems too excessive they just let them go and 
rewrite laws to favour the crook. Now, not even can man's best friend 
lend a helping hand.
