Collinsville police chief backs traffic stop policy
stltoday.com

A YouTube video posted in March shows a traffic stop of Ohio resident Terrance Huff by Collinsville Police Officer Michael Reichert as Huff and a friend were traveling from St. Louis. In the 17-minute video, Huff suggests that he was stopped without the officer having probable cause, as required by law, and that Reichert coached his K-9 dog to detect a scent of drugs so that he would have a reason to search Huff’s car. No drugs were found and Huff was allowed to leave without receiving a traffic ticket.

“There is no evidence of wrongdoing on this video,” Williams said. “This officer did not do anything incorrect or illegal. While some people may think it’s distasteful, it’s clearly not illegal.”

I guess we don’t have the right to not be stopped and searched anymore.
