Why do police officers work with k9's?

Officers work with k9's because they provide the Officer with a more effective method of fighting crime. Such examples of this would include the dogs using there noses for searching cars or buildings for illegal drugs that Officers can't see or smell. Dogs are also good for chasing down and taking down a suspect that may not comply with Officers and at the same time making the job a little more safe for the Officer. Most suspects who see a huge K9 that is barking at them with huge teeth will give up without a fight. K9's are also very good for tracking a subject after the subject has left the scene. They use the scent of the suspect and follow their scent on the ground and track where they may have gone for hiding. K9's have been used for many years and most if not all police agencies use K9's for helping them out for fighting crime. K9's will be used for many years to come.

Can a k9 police officer run his dog through a parking lot without the business owners permission?

Yes, parking lots are accessible to the public, and therefore subject to the rules regarding "plain sight" evidence. The dog is a tool that the officer is using to check for illegal activity, such as drug use or loitering. No arrest has to take place to justify a patrol going through an open parking lot. United States Supreme Court ruled that the use of a K9 to "sniff" the outside of a vehicle is not considered a search under the guidelines of the 4th amendment. A vehicle parked in a parking lot has no expectation of privacy. Any K9 officer could run a K9 around any vehicle in the parking lot without any other cause other than he wanted to. It is not a search, therefore search and seizure rules do not apply. The vehicle is parked in a public place where any other person would have access to the air surrounding the vehicles. Same thing goes for the officer. If the K9 alerts on your parked vehicle, it is probable cause to seek a warrant to search and hold the vehicle until such is obtained.
