- Eric, in situations where a police dog is just running wild and no handler is in sight, you can actually get away with shooting it to protect yourself. I've seen it done.

In the old police thread we had a link to a story where exactly this happened. Iirc, the police department hit the guy with like a $40k fine.

Some dude broke into my car last night and stole my GPS, my tire guage, and about a half-a-dozen players cards to Canterbury Park.

I used to be against the death penalty...

think of the comps he's getting you!

but yeah...I don't get the 'dogs are totally harmless all the time' theme here

I'm certainly not a big HURRAH COPS guy, but if you think killing a dog/cat/alligator/mosquito to save your kids is wrong...well lol

That's kind of what my larger point here is.

It's a grey area. I mean given the facts we had the evidence would probably lead a reasonable observer to state he probably freaked out, overreacted and needlessly killed a dog.

However, if some random CCWer shot a dog and some ******ed cop arrested him on some bull**** "reckless conduct" charge, the story still ends up here as a "**** THA POLEEZE" rant.

According to the eyewitnesses the dog was wagging its tail and 45 lbs. Firing 3 shots down a crowded park trail was probably not a reasonable decision.

But let's get back to my car. How many detectives are assigned to a smash and grab like this typically?

Usually it's like this JTM: Cop comes out, takes report. **** gets listen as stolen on NCIC. Cop finds it, arrests guy with it.

We now have a security guard watching the footage of all the entrances from last night. The smashing rock has been found; i assume extensive forensic tests will be taking place shortly. This guy's going down.

Also, the police sent me a "Do Not Reply" email stating that they received my report.

You watch CSI right? Most realistic show on TV.

Car update: My work's security says this guy has hit several times. He strikes between 10pm and 1:30am. The police absolutely do not care.
