Man faces trial for barking at a police dog

[rambone]

An Ohio man faces trial because he barked back at a police dog locked in a squad car. The dog barked at him uncontrollably and was quoted as saying "I should bite you and I'd sleep good tonight." The dog also called the man a "stupid human being."

Jail time should teach this man some respect for officers of the law.



Judge Refuses To Dismiss Charge In Man's Barking Case

A Tri-State man charged with teasing a police dog by barking at it could face trial after a judge rejected his request to dismiss the charge.

barking at a dog is a ciminal offense????? abuse of a police animal????.....and we talk about ambulance chasers taking up court time and money.......this is just a plain abuse of law and power!!!!!

I bark at my dogs all the time and they howl and bark back........The dog must be another pumped up cop, trying to flex his power by downgrading a citizen....

Citizen: It must be hot in that car..
PO Dog: step away from my car and show me some ID
Citizen: but i was just trying to strike up a conversation, about how you must be hot in there.
PO Dog: Show me your ID you dirtbag piece of ****, before I take a bite out of your leg. shut up and get on the ground.
citizen: but
PO Dog: I said get on the ground before.......

The thread would have been good without the childish comments made towards LE.

what?

You will respect Officer Chompy's authority!

I'm guessing the dog was in the vehicle. Bet if the K-9 had gotten out, Mr Stephens would have changed his tune. It's hard to act like a smartass when you're running away from a set of sharp teeth.

You realize it was an LEO who charged a guy for barking, right?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

How can the dogs get out of the police vehicle?

Are you saying that police knowingly endanger the community by transporting vicious animals that can escape from their vehicles?

Not if you put a slug in his head....i would have no problem shooting a police dog, that was trying to bite me......I would kill any other dog trying to bite me or my family and these dogs have had training to hurt you......in my world a dog that bites, even mine....is a dead dog.

Did the dog make the arrest or did the dog merely testify at the preliminary hearing?

"Raise your right paw and bark."

"No, wait, belay that!"

I think it is silly to charge the guy. I think it should also be acceptable for the dog to be turned loose and bite the **** out of the guy for being a douche bag.

So you bark at a dog to provoke it, then shoot it when it responds. Pretty tough dude.

No, he charged a guy for harrassing a police K-9. If the dog had injured himself because Stephens was teasing him it could have cost the dept. some big bucks for the vet bill.

BTDT, don't do that!

Police get all emotional about animals. Sometimes the very people that rationalize all kinds of horrific treatment of children.

The last and only dog to attack me I stopped, Magneto like, using a Buick Park Avenue. A Buick is a great fight stopper on a charging Rottie.

Was the dog barking in the performance of his duties? Why is okay for a dog to bark, but not a person? If the dog had barked at the man first, would the dog be arrested? Could the man bark back? Do we know who barked first? Were these friendly barks or aggressive barks?

The nuances of this arrest are fascinating.

No, he charged a guy for harrassing a police K-9. If the dog had injured himself because Stephens was teasing him it could have cost the dept. some big bucks for the vet bill.

Actually, it says he was charged with "abusing" the dog. Is this what the statute against abusing a police dog was meant to address?

This is ridiculous. Chew the guy out, tell him to leave your damned dog alone, and send him on his way.

Since most if not all Police K-9's are considered police officers your saying you would have no problem shooting a LEO?
