For all the pundits who say that we're just hysterical ladies with hysterical ladyparts because we're worried that birth control is next, this one's for you. #cassandraclub via ⁦New York Times Opinion⁩ nytimes.com/2022/05/23/opi…

Solano County Judge Stephen Gizzi's response was “unusual,” said Stanford Law School professor David Alan Sklansky.

State DOJ attorneys may have realized the judge's involvement “isn’t going to be helping us — and he doesn’t seem to want to be involved anyways.” openvallejo.org/2024/04/09/cal…

Happy National Pets Day.

So drug (& cash) sniffing dogs are alerting to handlers for treats & praise, not because they actually smelled anything.
Coupled with the downright abhorrent treatment of police dogs (a lot handlers leaving them unattended in hot cars) seems like a no brainer to shut it down

This week's video: dogs are good at smelling things but maybe better at pleasing people.

Which is a problem when their people want them to make up some probable cause.

These videos are so great, they truly open your eyes.

This week's law fact is about K9s. Did you know: when it comes to the law, it's not about a drug-sniffing dog's track record, but whether it is certified and the handler says it is reliable. That's.. problematic (pawblematic)? #notagoodboy #nationalpetday

Good morning! I'm given to understand that it is National Pet Day and for this occasion I prepared a video for you about how we should not base the law on the opinions of dogs, because the opinions of dogs probably just reflect the choices of their handlers.
