505.02 CONFINEMENT OF DOGS; DANGEROUS DOGS AND VICIOUS DOGS.
https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/lorain/latest/lorain_oh/0-0-0-6961
Except when a dog is lawfully engaged in hunting and accompanied by the owner, keeper, harborer or handler of the dog, no owner, keeper or harborer of any dog shall fail at any time to do either of the following:
(1) Keep the dog physically confined or restrained upon the premises of the owner, keeper or harborer by a leash, tether, adequate fence, supervision or secure enclosure to prevent escape;
(2) Keep the dogs on a leash and under the reasonable control of some person when off the premises of the owner and remove any feces originating from the dog from the property;
(3) The running at large of a dog off the premises of the owner is prima facie evidence that it is unconfined in violation of this section.
You are probably a dog Karen. Glad you don’t live in my neighborhood.
You want to focus on a leash law and ignore a cop who shot a dog that was not a threat. Running towards a cop by itself is not threatening.
So many other options to fall back on if he felt some fear. Kick the dog, hit him on the skull with your baton, hell, you might even lean over and scratch his ears and get some licks. But his first instinct was to shoot the dog dead.
Now what were you sea lawyering about leash laws?
Thank you for the info. And it’s really not a bad statute. It’s not a good idea to allow dogs to roam freely all over the neighborhood.
However, the cop here decided to make the violation a capital offense. Shoot and kill the friendly dog who was in violation.
(No disrespect meant to you, nicolio. None at all! Huge disrespect meant to the POS cop who just couldn’t wait to use his gun to kill something.)
Dog leash law, Lorain, OH. bkmk thanks
SO; this is deserving of a DEATH SENTENCE?
