So you are saying that they should have just let the suspect go just because there was a dog in the yard? Or a victim that is potentially injured and requiring assistance, but is hiding because they are afraid for their life, go unaided....

Just remember that if you ever need police assistance that would require them to go into someone elses yard..."There is no reason for the officer to be in that yard".....

They would need to have real Probable cause to legally go into that yard and shoot a dog. Just because someone is missing in that area does NOT account for that and thus doesnt give them the authority to use force just to look around. Like I said before if she wanted to sue I'm sure she could win. Just because they are police doesn't give them the right to violate and distroy peoples property just because. Which by the sound of it was exactly what happened. They wanted to look in the back yard just because.

I see where you stand. If they was no law it would be as such.

If you think I'm a "cop hater" like you say, you are sorely mistaken. There are cops out there who are genuinely good people. But you're fooling yourself if you think that applies to all of law enforcement.
 
i say we go and shoot there dogs and see how they feel! I honestly believe that if the dog is a pit they just shoot because of the breeds reputation but it jsut depends on how you raise them. My cuz got into troubl with the cops and they told him that if his dog( which is a pit but he is a big baby) wouldn't quit barking he was going to shoot it. thats unbelievable i hate cops they think they can do anything they want! Our government is so messed up i can't wait for the revolution ill be out there with my gun for sure!

Why would I think you are a cop hater? I never said you were, just replied to your comment. Maybe you read what you wrote and now feel different about yourself?

If they were just looking for someone who was "missing" that would be the case. They were not. They were looking for either the suspect or victim of a violent crime who fled the scene, attempting to locate either of these individuals fufilled the requirements to legally enter the yard....

No. If you are in pursuit on a suspect yes (even then with limitations) but you do not have the same leeway when pursuing a victim. Utah has a more cop friendly attitude (probably due to the cops that serve there) then say NY. Where cops have very clear limits due to a few really bad apples.
 
Funny side note. My local police department just spent 10k on training 2 of their officers to positively identify pit bulls, and according to them it is still very difficult.......I coulda saved them 10k and printed them a bunch of pics off of google.

This incident was not in NY so I am having a hard time following why their rules would apply. :confused: It occurred in FL.

If they had reason to believe the victim was still in danger either from the suspect or injuries received they would still be within their legal rights to enter....
 
I don't know the laws in Florida, if you do then you are correct. My point is that entering the property isn't always permitted and varies by state. NY is one of the laws I know.
