    This case smells like parallel construction. Oklahoma highway cops are pretty aggressive, but an out-of-state license plate hunch correctly leading to a big drug bust seems implausible to me. They already knew drugs were in the car.

      I was pulled over for having out of state plates in middle america because they thought I had drugs just because I had California plates. They did a drug sniffing dog (before this was ruled unconstitutional). Cop was absolutely convinced I had drugs and so disappointed I didn’t.

      What you’re not accounting for is all the people they pulled over that didn’t have drugs and you never heard about.

        Are drug sniffing dogs illegal now? I have never heard that.

    I've seen a hundreds of videos of cops catching drug smugglers and I fail to see why flock is needed to catch them.

    There are tell tales and cops are good at seeing them. Mass surveillance really isn't needed for that police work.

      lol. this is not for catching drug smugglers. that's the bs that is fed to the general public. it's mass surveillance. plain and simple
