Sniffer Dogs- the Slippery Slope to a Police State

Condoning drug sniffer dogs in schools "is one step down the slippery slope of a police state", according to an editorial published this week in Canadian newspaper The Chilliwack Times. The alarming article appeared after officials from the Surrey County School board began debating the introduction of random canine searches in local public schools.

"Although it's still in the discussion stages, there should be worry amongst parents, educators and the general public that we have abandoned a pillar of our Canadian criminal justice system of innocent until proven guilty," the paper thundered.
