What do you think... If you are going to continually contradict me it might be s good idea to know the facts
I found this statement by Grime:
"Please refer to my original report included in the summary (MG/1).
The interpretation of any alert is given when the dogs recognize a specific odour as a result of a response to the behaviour for which they were trained. This response must then be submitted to a forensic examination in order to draw conclusions."
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES_RIGATORY.htmAnd:
"There is always a possibility of contamination of odours by transferral. EVRD does not make a distinction; he responds with a certain behaviour for which he was trained when he recognizes an odour. He does not identify the reasons for the presence of the odour nor does he identify suspects. Forensic confirmation and specialized investigation methods will determine the reasons and the suspicions. In order to undoubtedly affirm there must be a confirmation of the alert signals made by the dog."
So far he is only trained to alert when he finds odours he was trained to find.
Odours not evidence. Odours not things.
