Off topic:
Becky, Aren't you the one that refused to pay the CRE dues and had to be escorted from the gates to your home?

Gotta admit tho.... I have considered it.....

not me

Oh you did? What about this county ordinance......or did you write that too?

[font=Times New Roman, Times]SECTION VIII – PUBLIC NUISANCE[/font]

1. [font=Times New Roman, Times]Any dog or cat that barks or makes other harsh excessive noises so as to disturb the quiet, comfort, and repose of a member or members of the community as reflected by persons with normal sensitivities to noise, molests or bites passerby, runs at large, chases vehicles, attacks other domestic animals, deposits excretory matter on property other than that of the owner, shall be deemed a public nuisance.[/font]

I said HOA....

oh and deeming a dog as a public nuisance really does a lot to save lives doesn't it.... read todays Washington Post....

Should an owner found innocent have recourse for his defense expenses?... I think that is definitely very fair.

OOPS, BG forgot to sign off again.. itsbob

Well, if someone wrongfully accuses me of rape, or anything else for that matter, do I have recourse to recover my lawyers fees?? NO.. Does the accuser have to reimburse me for my costs if I'm found innocent, NO... so why would we write special recompensation laws involving dogs?

SO them bringing that into the argument is only a trap for you to fall into.

It does seem, to me, that would be fair...

How to make it happen is another issue....

It seems to me that if your neighbor files a false report on you... then you should be able to bring civil suit against them for harrassment... small claims court is an inexpensive recourse....we could tie up the courts forever...

Or Animal Control officers could warn the person making the accusation that the penalty is ... whatever....for filing a false report....

maybe that would work...

I'm not a lawyer... but there's really something wrong with the law as it is... Did you see the Washington Post today?
