Dudes smell nasty anyway, why bother.

An eye? Seems more of a nose.

The use of scent samples was widely known to be practiced in Germany by the East German secret police, the Stasi, who used the technique to track dissidents.

Petra Pau, a senior lawmaker with the opposition Left Party, a group that includes ex-communists, criticized the practice as "another step away from a democratic state of law toward a preventive security state."

"A state that adopts the methods of the East German Stasi, robs itself of every ... legitimacy," she said in a statement.

This statement would have more bite if we were certain the police dogs themselves were Communists or former Communists. Can't say as I've ever heard of a commie canine.
