Do most police departments in the US have a K9 unit? Or is it mainly the bigger cities?

Asked by Sam about 11 years ago

I think more than half do. Nearly all have access to one through mutual aid.

I understand that a detective cannot search or seize anything unless he has a warrant or exigent circumstances. Does that also apply to a burn down house? Does an officer need a warrant to search a house that is burnt to the ground?

Asked by Petal over 11 years ago

I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.
