What’s Your Verdict During a routine traffic stop of a small truck for speeding, an officer became suspicious of the cargo the truck contained due to a smell coming from inside. When his request to search the truck was refused, the officer radioed for the assistance of a drug dog that acted to show that he believed that there were drugs present.
