What gave the right for the officer to enter the property without the owner’s permission?
She wasn’t a suspect and she had broken no law.
It’s almost as though cops are looking for dogs to shoot.
Sad story. Ms. Baca probably has never had much dealings with the cops.
She requested that she be notified when they were on the way - unlikely to happen.
She assumed the officer would respond knowing the reason for her call - it could well be that never happened either, given the cop climbed her fence. Maybe the cop thought the caller was in a potentially bad situation. Maybe.
While I can’t blame her for doing so, personally I would never leave aggressive, or for that matter, any, dogs outside even in the back yard, knowing people were on the way over - particularly cops that routinely don’t respect private property.
friggin’ cops....
There was no justification for the cop to trespass, if he truly did not know why he was called to the residence.
Points well made!
Almost?
Moron cops strike again.
She called to make a report, not to have the cops go in her backyard!
I’m allowing for the slightest possibility that the cop didn’t go looking for the dog.
I’d like to think there is always a bit of good in everybody.
Miracles happen I suppose.

These trigger happy thugs aren't bright eough to realize that they are peeing on their last support group.
We are inches away from a civil war, and Obama's shaved headed bloused boot pretend soldiers are trying to make sure that every one of those "civilians" they sneer at are going to enjoy taking revenge on them...
About 35 years ago, I had just set the timing on my 71 Chevy,
then I asked an older auto class teacher; “How do they get out of time, after you have just set the timing?”
He answered;................ “HUMAN.”
Why put up a fence around your personal, private property if you don’t expect cops to just hop over it whenever they feel like it?
Can cops be charged with criminal trespass?
If somebody *without* a badge did this, they’d be going to jail.
[I want a badge. It might be fun to be exempt from the laws of the land]
Everybody knows that an internet scam investigation is always resolved by going onto your property and killing your dog.
I used to believe that if TSHTF, the cops would automatically be on the side of American citizens.
Not any more.
I once got the cops called on me by a neighbor of my sister’s. I was 16, taking care of her dog while sis was on vacation. I forgot the key so went in through the front window that I jimmed open. Let the dog out, put the food in , water, etc.
Was half-way coming out of the window and 2 cruisers were there with a cop waiting for me! (Nice upscale neighborhood).
They just talked to me as I had my hands in the air and I explained what was going on. After they figured I was just a dumb kid they looked in the window, etc. They started to go around back through the gate but the dog was barking his head off.
They asked “Does he bite?” I said “No - but he doesn’t like guys in uniforms.” They laughed.
I’m glad it happened 30+ years ago. Neither me or the dog would have made it today.
We are increasingly becoming a nation with two sets of laws.
One for the Agents of the State.
One for the Slaves of the State.
Some will be—those who have the mindset of peace officers. There are still some remaining, though their number is decreasing.
An increasing number—those who have been trained as LEOs-—are more likely to be on the government’s side.
