[quote:Anonymous Coward 106290:MV83ODcyMDZfMTIwODAwOTlfRkEyNEI1Qjc=] I understand your anger, but you'll probably be losing money by getting a lawyer. In many states a "public servant" has a right to come on your property and be safe. When you called 911, you "invited" them. They have to respond to a 911 call, whether or not you ask them to come. Most cops would rather handle a bar room brawl than a domestic violence disturbance. Often, when the cops arrive, one spouse gets upset with the cop for saying something or treating the other spouse badly, and it ends up with the people who were fighting, turning on the cop. In other instances, there are weapons. Cops dont' want to be keeping their eye on a barking dog, trying to avoid being bitten, while watching to make sure no one brings out a weapon. I love my dog and can imagine how you feel. I hope you and your husband can work things out so you won't have to go through that again. :hf: [/quote]

I know this isn't the best place for advice, but I am sooooo pisssed!
My husband and I had a fight 2 nights in a row about money. I told him I was not sitting here listening to his shit for another day (fri). I came home from work at 12:30am sat morning and he started in. I had had 2 glasses of wine, but by 2:30 I knew I was leaving. So I packed up some clothes and things. Got my dogs stuff and told him I was going to my mothers to chill and he needed to decide if he wanted to work it out or not. He took the car keys and refused to let me have them. I called 911 to report that he would not let me leave. DH hung up on them, but they called back. DH said I was drunk and he was afraid for me to drive. (lie) I told the dispatcher that I had had 2 glasses of wine since 12:30 and it was 3am now. The dispatcher said that I should be fine, but wanted me to wait as he had an officer in route.
I walked out to load my stuff in the car without realizing there were 4 cop cars in my driveway and my 2 dogs ran out with me. The first cop had a dog in his car that was madly barking at my dogs. My dogs barked back of course. The cop told me that I had better put my dogs up or he was going to shoot them! I replied that he had better get off my property then as I did not ask for him to be there! He then threatened to lock me up for disorderly conduct, I told him to go right ahead! He was an ASS!
Then a second cop took me aside and asked what was going on. He gave me a blow test, I passed with flying colors and he told the ASS, that I was to have my keys and my dogs and they were leaving. I want to file a complaint against the asshole, and my husband doesn't want to start any trouble.
I feel he had no right to threaten me or my dogs on my property when I had done nothing wrong. How can a cop even be intrusted with a canine unit, if he is that willing to shoot another dog? I am ready to hire a lawyer over the whole thing.
