It is an excuse. You have the right because of the first amendment. There is also a such thing as citizens arrest for a reason.Thats a losing argument. It is not sufficient to use the "other people do it too excuse". You sound like a child.There are signs that say people are supposed to drive at a certain MPH as well.True, but she was in an area where dogs are supposed to be leashed and there were plenty of signs to that effect. Sure she could have made a choice to ignore him (and he could have rightfully filmed her off lead dog and called the cops on her.).No. She should have put her dog on a leash.Actions have consequences.Her punishment will be far more severe than the seriousness of her crime. She will spend the rest of her life in hiding because of the death threats. She will never be able to get a job again. Everyone she knows, except her few real friends, will disown her.
Like I said she should have just ignored him
Says you.
She has no obligation to comply with the orders of some unknown civilian.
In fact she has no obligation to acknowledge him if he speaks to her
Tell me how many actually follow those rules.
Was the dog bothering the guy?
It seemed to me he was quite a distance away from the woman and her dog.
Doesnt matter how far the dog was away. It was disturbing the wild life the sign was posted to protect.
It's not an excuse I am merely wondering why anyone who is not in law enforcement thinks they have the right to tell other people what to do.
And a dog on a leash can disturb wildlife. FYI people can disturb wildlife too.
A dog on a leash cannot attack wildlife which is the point. Yes humans can disturb and kill wild life but the sign was speaking of dogs being leashed not humans.
No the first amendment does not give you the right to enforce laws.
All he can do is say something, and he did. It's still not his job to make the person put a dog on a leash is it?
Like I said she should have just ignored the guy like I would have done.
Who said the 1rst gave you the right to enforce laws? This was your question...."I am merely wondering why anyone who is not in law enforcement thinks they have the right to tell other people what to do. "
The first amendment gives you the right to say what you want, including telling people to obey posted signs.
He didnt make the woman put the dog on the leash. Where did you get the assumption he made her do anything?
She had the right to ignore him just like you do. Instead she jumped to becoming a hysterical racist bitch.
You said you have a right because of the first amendment didn't you? Then you mentioned citizens' arrest didn't you?
The first amendment has nothing to do with citizens arrest and nothing to do with enforcing laws
As I said civilians do not have a duty to enforce the laws.
He can say whatever he wants but not one person has any obligation to listen to him.
