No crime was committed
The pretext of the stop was a lie
The drug dog falsely alerted probably due to manipulation of his training
The officer repeatedly lied under oath
It looks like the entire interdiction operation requires that the officer lies at three distinct phases. (The pretext stop, the search, and in court)
Do we want our officers to lie under oath? Providing false testimony to the courts? Falsely accusing innocent people?
Pretty sure the answer is no.
Pretty sure the bible has some things to say about Bering false witness or some such.
