drug dog scratched my truck!!! :angry:

[turbomaxx]

So we had a drug search at school today. The dog hit on my Kota.

Let me say now that I don't and never have done drugs. I just don't particularly think the risk is worth the reward.

They said he hit on the drivers side front, and I asked why there were so many new scratches on the left side, and they looked and said, "oh, he hit there too."

WTF!?!?!?!

This dog must have not been trained. Or they SAID he hit on it so they could search it. I would understand that, I mean, it looks like a dealer truck. Black, body kit, chrome 20"s, tinted windows.

But honestly, they owe me some cash now. There are crazy scratches on the front bumper and body kit ( a $2000 factory option, I might add) and fender and hood. Between the refinish and blend it's probably a good $800 repair.

And my father (dog trainer, can make a dog find drugs, people, bombs, Basically anything) called every agency that was there to find out whose dog hit on it. Hopefully he can make them pay for it.

I don't understand why you would train a drug dog for aggresive response?!?!? That's asking to damage someone's property on a false hit.

Seriously, I do understand that it looks suspicious. But it sucks that I can't have a nice looking truck and not be considered a drug dealer. That's sad.

Did you get this truck at a police auction?

Well that really sucks, I would definitely be tracking down someone to pay for it.

Good point. Being a used truck, especially one that LOOKS like a dealer's truck, it may have muled drugs at some point. The hit might not have been false... just a little late!

Still sucks. The dog isn't foolproof, and damaging your property is unacceptable. If they found drugs, then I suppose it could be excused, as the outcome was as expected. But without finding drugs... that's like shooting an unarmed man because you thought he had a gun... no proof, damage done... BIG trouble.

Wow...really?


They owe it to you....that's bulllshit.

Can't wait for pictures.

Welcome to the club

If you have a new car/ a nicely painted car/ a clean car you'll always be paranoid.

My dad's an old man and that's how he is about his cars. He nearly flipped when my mom let the seatbelt go and it nicked his door panel.

I guess it runs in the family!

That's EXACTLY my thinking. It's one thing if they had found something, but there isn't and never has been drugs in my dakota. I don't let drug users ride, period!! For this reason, no less!

And no, not from police auction. Joe Jacoby Dodge dealership of Warrenton VA.

I'll try to get pics but I'm not sure if they will show up to well.

Same thing happened to one of my buddies.
Although they DID find bullets.
Supposedly, you cant have those things in your personal vehicle.
But hey, we were goin huntin after school..

What does this dog do to alert the handler of a hit? Jump on the car? I have seen drug dogs that paw or scratch at the area, while some simply sit next to the area. I have heard of small scratches from the dogs nails but nothing to the extent which this has been described. From talking to you in the past about your dad, he sounds like he has all kinds of experience. What does he say about the whole thing?

I would be filing a complaint with the School (it occurred on their property while they clearly knew you were away from your truck) and with the agency that employs the dog and handler (the dog caused the damage).

If the dog has to dig into the paint to alert the handler of a hit, the handler needs better training. As soon as the dog initially hits that dog needs to be pulled off, so no damage will be caused and it will not appear that anything was tampered with.

There was a case here locally that a defense attorney was able to put enough doubt in the jurors minds that his client walked. The whole thing was simply over damage done to the car by the drug dog. The defense was able to make the jury believe that the car may have been tampered with and the evidence may have been planted, therefor the jury could not convict beyond a reasonable doubt.

I'll bet your school has a no-damage liability policy for student vehicles because of things like this.
