It doesn’t happen nearly often enough, but it’s always enjoyable to watch a court lay the smackdown on a law enforcement officer’s literally unbelievable assertions.

Indianapolis police officer Daniel Hiser performed a traffic stop that resulted in the discovery of marijuana and a handgun in Davon Gray’s possession. But it’s the events leading up to the stop that triggered the court’s BS detector — events that include Officer Hiser’s apparently miraculous olfactory sense.
