How is this supposed to be enforced? Shall we have the Dog Police install CCTV cameras in the home of every dog owner?
If someone sustains injuries or damages due to another's pet, then that is currently a tort that can be litigated in civil court of law. Criminal activities that involving a dog are already covered under criminal negligence or assualt laws, while infractions such as excessive noise are covered under municipal noise regulations.
I see no need for this bill, and I worry about opening the can of worms of making civil torts criminal and over-broad language that could lead to unreasonable prosecutions (not that our wonderful criminal justice system would ever unreasonably prosecute anyone).
