Drug sniffer dogs do not work. In fact they are wrong 64-72% of the time. When they do find drugs, it is normally a small amount for personal use – only 2% of searches result in a supply conviction.
The police use of drug dogs disproportionately affects the poor, Aboriginal and queer communities. Young people just trying to have a good time at festivals and bars are subject to police harassment including strip searches.
Police might try to ruin our good times, but we won’t go down without a fight. We are holding our own party to protest the drug dog regime.
Sniff Off is the NSW Greens campaign against the use of drug dogs without a warrant.
