Prohibition profiteering

Here's a business that wouldn't exist without the prohibition, private drug dog-detection services. Why wait for the police to tell you, when for only $16 you can violate your teenager's privacy on your own. That should do wonders for building trusting family relations. And for all those employers who would rather be playing Big Brother than building a business plan, it costs a little more but you too can violate your workers' Fourth Amendment rights using the Rathy's dog, who can purportedly detect drugs or the residue of drugs in buildings or on clothing, even after 30 days.

The really sad part is apparently there's a lot of wannabe narcs out there. The Rathys have already recouped their $16,000 investment and turn enough of a profit to fund free drug awareness presentations at schools and non-profit organizations. How altruistic - as if that's not their target market.
