This actually isn’t far removed from the reality we already have, it’s found many of the dogs are specifically trained not to accurately detect things, but to give the reaction that allows a cop to move forward in order to create probable cause.
I mean at the airport the dog identifies you suitcase and the officers then search the suitcase. Not sure how you could trick the dogs then.
I suppose you could do it at your home, but that’s not useful either for the same reasons.
Thousands of people all treating their perfectly-innocent suitcases with the stuff will generate a false-positive rate high enough that it’ll make the dogs’ signals unusable as probable cause.
The real idea is to treasure those scents and spray them on all kinds of random shit.
If the damn dog reacts to a bunch of items that aren’t weed, then you have grounds to challenge any searches conducted based on the dog’s reaction.

A well trained dog in controlled lab conditions is about 80% accurate iirc a dog in practice is far less than 50% accurate.

That could work, but why would anyone do that?
