Happy for the dog. Less happy (but not surprised) that it is being trained to falsely alert. Much easier to screen people for no reason that way!
Seriously, story completely goes over that some poor bastard was airport swatted over some pizza.
You get a gun to your face and then see a mean ass police dog get a treat for it lol
Wholesome memes? More like ignorant memes. (Gets downvoted into oblivion)
Yeah I got pulled over once and illegally searched by dogs. They supposedly alerted. It totally wasn’t that half a Subway sandwich on my passenger seat. They proceeded to tear my car apart anyway while simultaneously trying to convince me to confess to drugs that weren’t in my car. Scumbags.
“Gave him a treat anyways”
Well there you go. The dog isn’t confused, it’s doing exactly what they’re training it to do.
Humans are just bad at training the right behaviours. We know what the goal is, so we assume that it’s in some way obvious to the dog as well.
Having said that, I also don’t want to be on a flight with some weirdo who has bought pizza with them so the dog is still performing a valuable service.
Thats the joke :D
Look pal, you’re either going to jail for decades or this dog just smells pizza. You better suck it up because this is the best system we have
No I swear these additional checks are random
The War on Drugs is because drugs will ruin your life! The prison system will make sure of that!
Just always bring some emergency pizza. Worst case scenario: you’ve got some pizza
So the takeaway from this is: When smuggling drugs through an airport, carry a few slices of pizza as well.
No no no, put the drugs in the pizza stupid.
Apparently bringing along things that will give false positives is a legit strategy.
There’s nothing wholesome about this.
Well if you keep rewarding him for finding pizza, of course he’ll hell doing it. Gawd cops are so damned stupid.
Relax it’s a made up story
Cops still stupid tho
This is why I’m a cat person.
They don’t snitch
My cat would snitch on me for a treat and a few grains of catnip.
They don’t know they’re getting someone in trouble, they just know that if they act a certain way when they smell something, they get a treat. That’s why this tweet is horrifying, because they’re training the dog to do that when they smell pizza, which means that you get to be searched because you smell vaguely of pizza.
Also cats can be trained to do the same thing. They just like dogs more because they’re easier to find/notice if they wander off a little bit, and can bite people.
This is probably a situation where their handlers and trainers ate or were around pizza or something while training them… not sure if that’s funny or scary
They aren’t drug dogs they are bomb dogs.
Pizza is the bomb, so I guess it all works out in the end?
Them dogs are da bomb.
Reminds me of how two separate bomb-sniffing dogs altered to me when my dog was a puppy.
Your dog just likes puppies, leave me alone.
But your puppy was… da bomb!
I’ll see myself out.
Thanks, Dad.
Nothing wholesome about this. Cop dogs are animal abuse and all they’re used for is fabricating evidence.
Only on Lemmy.ml would they be jerking off cops and cop dogs.
That’s a rimjob steve if i’ve ever seen one.
Does this count as copaganda…? It feels like copaganda.
Meanwhile the dog is bragging to their dog friends that they’ve successfully trained their human to give out snacks for pizzas as well.
“you don’t have to wait for humans to bring drugs, they almost never do that, I get so many more treats when I train my human on pizza!”
The drugs are in the pizza.
