It's K-9 units.

The police love their dogs so much because smells aren't protected like that. They don't need a warrant to pass by you, but passing by you is all a dog needs. If a dog smells weed, that's probable cause, and now they can do a real search.

In this case random K-9 searches just means there'll be a cop and a dog walking around, seeing what the dog smells, maybe generating that probable cause.

Dog doesn’t have to smell anything. It’s a convenient reason to do whatever they were going to do anyway.

Corruption isn't relevant to the original and stated purpose, which doesn't violate the constitution's rules for searches and seizures.

Corruption is a problem, but a separate one.

Pretty sure corruption is included in the law. The false positive rate rate for dogs is abysmal. Might as well be magical beeping devices like we sell to Iraq for “bomb detection”, the ade651.
