Don't Bark at Police Dogs!

[Seamonkey]

Heard about this on the heels of the story of the lady with the Pitbull that bit a police officer. Pit didn't bite anyone.

My girls were better behaved than most people...

Is barking considered protected speech?

dipsh..

If he was disturbing the dog during the traffic stop could he have been interfering with the officer's ability to do his job?

The dog is a member of the police force and a police officer. They even have a badge and everything. Messing with one is like messing with a human officer. You will lose, except have a few puncture wounds to prove it.

a dog is a dog.

if the dog is used by police to fight crime then it's a dog that's used by police to fight crime.

a dog is not a cop.

here is the problem with an LEO dog.

LEO isnt supposed to search without a warrant but,

LEO dogs search without warrant. then they use the evidence against the person. seems like a violation of the 4th ammmendment to me.

Dogs don't search w/o a warrant just because they can 'hit' on scents that are imperceptible to humans.. part of their nature.. just as seeing a bag of weed on a dash gives cop reasonable suspicion to search..smelling it gives the dog such.

Well this isn't entirely true, there are tons of warrant-less searches.

I have no idea about the K9 portion but I am sure a big part of the arrest or detention had to do with the intoxication...

A great clue to intoxication, other than the odor, would be comments like, "He started it."

then explain to me why my brother in laws dog has a badge and is listed as an officer on the PD website? Why my uncles dog in the Mass state Troopers has a badge and is listed as an officer? When I asked them they said the killing of a police dog or attacking a dog is considered assault on a police officer.

If you could explain it to me and where they are wrong I would greatly appreciate it..thanks.
