Odor-proof bags have become very popular with smokers around the world. Made with odor-proof technology, these bags offer superior odor protection for easy storage of various products.
They protect from moisture and preserve everything from coffee and tea to cigars, herbs, and spices. But can dogs actually smell drugs through these bags? Here’s a closer look.
Odor-proof bags in a controlled environment
You may have seen on YouTube some videos of drug dog experts doing their job. In case you have not had a chance to see it we will tell you an anecdote of a real case that happened in Nebraska.
At a drug stop, a drug dog expert was covering a routine operation. Specifically, he was reviewing a video. Once he finished watching the video, the expert laid out a number of data to determine if the dog had actually detected the scent.
The results showed that the dog had not sensed the drug inside a scent-proof bag. The expert was later asked if the scent-proof bags are really effective.
The expert’s answer was affirmative. He indicated that only in a controlled environment can the odor-proof bags be manipulated. In fact, he said that he has conducted some tests to determine how effective they are.
The expert gave some details about the precautions he used to place marijuana in the odor-proof bags. In order to handle the weed, he used a pair of rubber gloves. This way he could make sure that there was no residue in the bags.
Later, the expert placed marijuana in odor-proof bags and put them inside a car. Then, he ran a drug dog around the car to do his job.
And wouldn’t you guess? The dog didn’t notice the smell of marijuana. To make sure it wasn’t just luck, the expert repeated the experiment with other types of narcotics, including cocaine and heroin. The results were again negative: the dog did not report the odor.
It is worth noting that when telling about the precautions he took in applying the experiment; the expert maintained a scientific approach at all times.
Scent-proof bags in a criminal case
In addition to the expert, the video also featured a lawyer who represents people traveling with cocaine, methamphetamine, or marijuana.
The lawyer informed the expert that these drugs are usually placed in odor-sealed bags, but in most cases, the dogs detected the odor.
The expert explained that sometimes some sellers of “scent-proof bags” do not actually provide authentic scent-proof bags, making it easier for them to become contaminated.
On the other hand, it is common for people who are arrested for carrying drugs to have carried other drugs in their vehicles in the past.
Certainly, from a drug crime defense attorney’s perspective, the argument is always going to be that the dog did not smell the odor because the drug was in an odor-proof bag. Therefore, presumably, the dog was either tipped off by the handler or was not properly trained.
In fact, the attorney stated that in many cases he has represented; the dog is rewarded each time it indicates that there are narcotics in the vehicle. Thus, the dog gets a reward regardless of whether marijuana, methamphetamines, or any other drug is found.
For his part, the expert acknowledged that sometimes this may be possible, and that it is common for some dogs to be properly trained to do their job.
Drug dogs How reliable are they?
In the middle of the video, the expert was asked if drug dogs are really alerting to the presence of a narcotic substance or if are they just looking to please their trainer to give them their reward. This question is also common among people who like to smoke frequently.
To answer the question, the expert explained a concept called “detailing”. This is an action to determine whether the dog is indicating “yes” or “no”.
Detailing consists of the following. The handler takes the dog to a specific car or location and the dog indicates whether or not there is a narcotic odor. The amazing thing about all of this is that not all dogs that get certification can “detail”.
If you think about it, this can be really serious. If a dog can’t pass a “yes or no” test, how do you know that it actually indicated the odor of drugs after circling the car several times?
In certain parts of Nebraska, it is common to see drug dogs circling a vehicle several times before indicating the odor of narcotic substances. With respect to these cases, the expert indicated to be concerned since the dog may believe that the handler will continue to walk him until he indicates that he has found the scent.
The problem with scent-proof bags
Returning to the subject of scent-proof bags, it is important to note that it is very likely that the bags could be contaminated at the scene. So it is not appropriate to argue in court that there is no chance that a dog could have sniffed through the scent-proof bags.
In this case, the prosecutor may argue that the vehicle in which the narcotics were found was involved in the past in a similar case and this is why the dog detected the odor.
