I was gonna say it would be Uber expensive to lose a drug dog. But if you're doing good business you could get something like that for a price on the order of $1600+the price of whatever you're delivering. Call it a $2k loss for the cost of doing business?

Trying to do drug prohibition is a losing game anyway. This would be the field work equivalent of auditing paperwork. Your boss DGAF, the drug dealer DGAF, the client DGAF, and the public probably likes looking at you less than they like seeing the drug dog run around. Grim.

    2k is cheap compared to you or whoever you could coerce into transporting for you going to prison tho... but does that mean they're taking jobs

    "Taking jobs" is surely layered with a ton of nuance and sophistication when you're talking about the coercive nature of mafia/illegal work in the context of poverty. I can guarantee you if we looked up the question we'd come away going "kind of, but it's weird, gross, and America's fault"
