Q: I was stopped for using phone officer run me was clean instead of letting me go he bought dog to sniff is this legal
He search my. Purse found drugs . No drugs in car
A: It does not sound like you were clean, and apparently purse was in the car. You did not describe the charges, but it sounds extremely serious. The LEO will be articulating one or more reasons for the search, which may or may not be legal. You need a competent attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing at Sessions, and a possible Motion To Suppress at Circuit Criminal.
