Georgia Case Law - Drug Dogs
Criminal cases involving evidence discovered by canines make for a potential legal defense opportunity in Georgia case law. Drug dogs are used as a scientific tool to obtain evidence; but evidence can still be illegally obtained if the dogs are not trained or handled properly. If your case is hinging on evidence discovered by a drug dog, you need an aggressive criminal defense attorney who understands the nuances of examining this type of evidence.
Drug Dogs Can Make Mistakes
Courts often believe that drug dogs are infallible. But in reality, they are prone to take the lead of their handlers. Impressionable dogs may be coerced by – or susceptible to subtle cues given by – their handler. An improperly trained dog or handler can therefore jeopardize your liberties. Trust a criminal defense attorney with experience investigating evidence obtained by drug dogs.
We are Trained in Examining Drug Dog Evidence
At David West & Associates, we have been through the rigorous and highly specific training that drug dog experts must undergo. We have gained further knowledge into the proper training and handling of drug dogs by attending lectures given by law enforcement.
If the handler of a drug dog has not been re-certified or was not properly educated about handling techniques, we can use that knowledge to attack the method of evidence discovery in court. We aggressively investigate to determine that expert drug dog handlers’ licenses are current and valid – and that drug dogs are also current on their training. If they are not up to code, we may be able to get your evidence thrown out.
