There is always someone who wants to widdle away at one or another of our constitutional rights, and not just the Second Amendment.
Lisa Madigan won a landmark case before SCOTUS that a police officer having a dog who "alerts"(not really specific as to what that means) to something (not really specified), constitues probable cause.
When pulling over suspected drug dealers and having an actual trained drug sniffing dog who is trained to alert by barking or something - I have no problem with it. But it does open the door for abuse. Basically any officer with any kind of dog can say Fido alerted and now he can pull you out of your vehicle and go over your car and go on a fishing expedition to try to find something in your car.
