Seems illegal to me. I question whether why they called the K9 unit in the first place. What reasonable suspicion lead you to believe that a K9 unit was needed.

Sue the police department.

I'm AMAZED that nothing was planted.

Racism pure and simple!

This issue is why knowing our rights is so important.

It will be interesting to see what the follow-up is. The police with the sunglasses looked like power-trippers.

If an alert was given by the K9 why was nothing found? Should that K9 be held accountable for a false report

Of course there wasn't any drugs. They signal for the dog to alert or just say the dog did. Of course your not allowed to question or film what the alert is. Police fail to find anything 70+ % of the time the dogs alert. If I screwed 70% of ha I did at work, I'd be fired.

I love how they alway send the Black captain or chief to explain

If no ticket was ultimately written then its an illegal stop.

The Sheriff speaks like he’s special needs, speaks improper and broken English.

what is the matter with police who can,t read?

Deputy clearly said !! there are a bunch of dang school girls on the bus . Probably got some weed 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. Wow

Tossing young women's luggage without their permission or any form of probable cause? If that isn't a violation of civil rights, I don't know what is! Talk about illegal search and seizure!

This incident is now on the radar of the Delaware Attorney General..So it would be a good homework assignment for the girls to partner with the AG and submit a FOIA request for traffic stop records along that stretch of road..There may be some interesting research published.It always triggers curiosity when a K-9 "alerts" and then the search produces NO contraband.So a drug dog with a defective nose, or a pretextual police stop?

Even if they have weed is that worth ruining there lives this needs to change from the root not just these cops

Am I the only one who caught rhe date? 4/20???? 😂

“Unimaginable.” No, it is very imaginable. It’s expected.

Hillbillies

They searched personal property these cops need to be held accountable, and not investigate themselves. The Sheriff said they did not search personal property Duh. Disgraceful. there was NO alert. Dogs can't be trusted they go on the signals their trainer of the dog gives.

Even if you ignore the racial aspect of this, the police need to get alerts from individual bags to search. IDK for sure but it seems a deprivation or rights under the color of law, for multiple factors. Never mind the fact they bring a dog in for a traffic stop and warning which should take A few minutes and this is where the racial element is, only because of The cultural makeup of that bus, Gave alarm to these officers and while I can’t prove this it’s likely if they were a white team from some Upper class echelon, I don’t imagine the police would have the same opinions. Lastly, No probable cause to bring a dog which has been proven to be unreliable, and gets it wrong, at least half the time. The dogs tend to signal, in order to please the dog handler, who wants for the dog to signal, so he can make his arrest. As opposed to a bomb disposal unit, handler and animal, who is incentivized for the dog to get it right 100% of the time. There are videos on you tube, that show this from experts in the field, the fact that local law enforcement still uses them, even though they Know they are unreliable, shows systemic corruption, through conflicts of interests, looking for revenue Civil asset seizure, a program promoted and than abused by the DEA also. Welcome to tyranny USA.

Dogs can be trained to alert to an oral or hand signal. Offactory detection of drugs is no better than a coin toss.

SMH, these cops!

Str bs

NBC.. why wouldn’t you push this to the national level?

"...offered no additional context." Translation: "We lied about finding contraband on another vehicle and have zero evidence to support our lie, so we're just going to ignore all of your phone calls and emails."

I was in high school only 2 years ago, and honestly it surprises me that they didn’t find a single cart in an entire high school bus lol

That is not right!!!

Sue the police department

We got us a bus full of blacks, lets find us some weed. Smh

Would they have stopped a Harvard bus, Yale bus, any flagship state University football team, a predominantly white small liberal arts college? No way. Let's toss the black girls.

They were looking for Brittney Griner on "420" Day

So out of all the vehicles they stopped, they only found one car with contraband? That's the excuse for a bs search.

If the dog behaved as if drugs were on there, how come no drugs were found? Bullsheet.

weed is decriminalized in delaware anyway why are they putting so much effort into this smh

As a 72 year old I’m used to giving probably sometimes unwanted. DO NOT LET THIS OWN YOU! I was horrified to see what was done to you in ga. Things that are awful will happen. It’s called life. I see so many people literally bent over because life has beaten them down. Keep the little child in you alive. Stay young! Don’t hold on to negative stuff. Please know that you are in my prayers daily and I love you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

to the reporter for the story, the video didn't "APPEAR" to show them searching the personal things it show them searching their personal things (VIDEO DOES NOT LIE) and you didn't mention that the driver didn't get a ticket for the traffic infraction that THEY witnessed

Ignorance of these comments. Not your fault though. Blame the schools.

They stop the wrong people ( a group of people who are not afraid to speak up for what's RIGHT) 🙏🏾 they won't get away with this one.I thank GOD for KARMA.

That sheriff for 1 lied about the whole incident, for 2 he can't read for 3 he sounds illiterate number 3 he should be fired and so does all the cops that participated in this stop

Why on earth would they do that. That seems highly illegal.

hose officers "WEED! HAHAHAHA!" How childish!

The stop has nothing to do with the officer actions in the car talking about weed after seeing black kids. Racist period

I hope I haven’t offended anyone

Officer needs to read O.C.G.A. 40-6-51 Georgia state laws

Vyvanse? That's legal, but hard to get unless you got good ins...

This just make me sick. Elite ladies treated like criminals. 😡

What if someone told them to?

I probably wrong but , is this at violation of 4th amendment?

Meanwhile in Buffalo...

Went all through they're under garments. Terrible!!!!

These cops need to be sued into being homeless.

Why didn’t the cops just plant some incriminating evidence on the bus like they usually do?

This is a blatant violation of the 4th amendment rights. This also happened in Georgia that is known for corruption.

The fact that there are more than one of them and not ONE of the cops knew the law and stopped this!! They are all racist idiots and should be in another profession. And then he stopped them from being in the left lane while passing! This is an embarrassment to law enforcement and a wake up call. The lies! These poor young women. How humiliating.

pretty sad none of these girls know their rights and these cops just took advantage of them

Cringe

It's so funny how nothing is ever about race ..

Shameful police force

Wtf?

ACAB period!!!

If they didn't have anything to hide then what's the big deal?

God is comming for paid back.

There's no way that those cops knew that the bus was carrying a HBCU women's lacrosse team!! They were being professional and courteous enough to explain what they were doing. Which was drug and human trafficking interdiction on an Interstate in a state (Georgia) near a major city (Atlanta) known as a major trans-shipment point for drugs/money for the entire South. Even though the cop didn't know the law about traveling in the left lane and the sheriff blatantly lied about the search of belongings. I think had this been a bus load of white lacrosse players from say, Dartmouth College on the way back to New Hampshire, this wouldn't even have registered on the radar of those who seek racial bias in every encounter.

Those girls could have smoked BEFORE leaving or something. Even then, the weaving or improper turn of the bus IN PLAIN VIEW, is PROBABLE CASUE for stop. Blacks love wee'ed!

This is not illleagal busses like these are subject to serach without a warrent dont qoute me

With a war going on and a crumbling economy it’s good to see the news really staying focused on big events.

Those are the kind cops trumps Corrupt Republican party uses at the Southern Border.

Marijuana? Such an awful crime 😉🤣😂🙄😅🤪😃

Slow news day, eh? I guess next time I make a trip to Mexico for a drug run I'll bring my black buddies with me to allay any suspicions. If I get pulled over I can always say "DATH RACIST!"
