“”””I remember the Good Old Days when you could open a person’s car door and turn off their headlights so their battery didn’t go dead.””””
Good memory, that was a universal and common act, very common.
I read the article, went to instagram and watched the video. That cop needs to brush up on laws leaving a dog in a hot car, IMO. Anybody can google: what are the laws on leaving a dog in a hot car in NC? That lady was within her rights to open the door and offer the dog water. From the way that dog was drinking, I would say he or she was heat stressed! Kudos to the good samaritan! [I would have done the same]
Yep. I’m firmly on Team Vella.
Look how thirsty the dog was.
Three stupid people.
Stupid Karen
Stupid Cop
Stupid owner
The cop asked the property owner if he wanted to press charges for someone who got into his car and took out his property. The car / dog owner said no.
Where is this a conflict?
The cop was persistent and is being looked at by the department which has already started training to avoid his mistake which you agree with, the car owner sided with the rescuer, so she and he, and the department share the opinion you differ with.
You are looking more foolish as you persist in whatever your flowing and changing arguments are, call the department with your concerns about the rescuer and the car owner and the department disagreeing with you.
I feel that woman was at fault though - she should have vandalised the car and stolen the dog. A better outcome.
You do not do things in other people’s property without permission. If a human is at risk, then you arguably have cause.
If it is property, you don’t.
In this case, the cop couldn’t even hold the dog owner to account over possibly having hurt his dog, because the law says the cop had to witness it.
The dog was in distress and could very well have become severely ill or die from heat stroke. So yeah the do was in fact in danger of dying if he did not get relief from being in the hot car. And remember the woman did not know how long the dog was in the car.
But don’t take my word for it,

Oh and yeah you’re a jerk.
“If it is property, you don’t.”
So to you leaving a dog in a hot car and putting it in danger of dying from heat stroke is no different than leaving an umbrella in the car? Both are property,right? Legally this is true but laws do make a distinction. But I guess to you it makes no difference if one of these is alive.
I was too kind before when I wrote you were a jerk. You’re a menace.
It looks like you disagree with the dog owner, the rescuer, and the police department, you have an opinion on the rescue that no one else agrees with, except for the cop in trouble over it.
By the way, in some states you can smash the window to rescue the dog, you are making a mountain out of a molehill.
“”Tennessee law states a person can legally break a window if they see a child or pet in distress locked inside, as long as they call 911.””
Are you saying the woman who intervened to help the dog was a Karen?
You gave a law for a different state. Irrelevant.
I am fine having a bunch of effeminate men disagree with me.
We have a three year old dog that loves to lay out on the hot wood deck. And it pants and is obviously hot but he loves it out there.
We shouldn’t have assumed that he is smart enough to go into the shade or come in the cool house. The vet recently told us not to let him stay out there once he starts panting.
Yes.
Not for intervening. How she did it.
If we killed a k-9, we’d be in jail for murdering an officer. A cop does it and they only get fired.
If a cop murdered their human partner they wouldn’t just get fired, either.
If the dog had died or suffered heat related injuries, the owner would have been arrested and charged with animal cruelty.
Yeah....the cop’s wrong. If I were her I would have simply said why I opened the car door one time (to save the dog) and then would have just responded that I’d be quite willing to explain myself to the jury if he wants to charge me anything. He knows as well as she does how the jury is going to come down on that.
