IMO, nothing about the timeline makes sense to me. Officers would have made their way to the backyard area before a knock on the door or as the door knockers approached. Not after a 10 minute conversation and then two minutes later. I doubt they spent 10 minutes at the door nor that the shooting took place a full two minutes after the door closed. It doesn't make sense. That's because you haven't addressed context yet....IMHO here's where it fits....After the initial contact at the door did not go as planned officer in the back thought he would recon a little further and see if the subject could be seen in the residence after it would appear that the LE contact had been broken off by the officer at the door withdrawing. You know, see if the subject of the warrant came popping out a closet/room like a jack-in-the-box. Instead of it being an "A-HA !!" type moment, it turned into an "OH SHIT !!" moment when he encounters the dog, and he panics and shoots the dog...Just my best guess based on the info provided VS. responses posted by LE in the thread. I base my statements on having served or attempted to serve hundereds of warrants with various departments and pretty much everyone was almost exactly the same. You on the other hand from what I can tell have never attempted to serve arrest warrants. Never had claimed I worked in warrant service. Only pointing out that I believe that the scenario I posted could fit the timeline and be plausible. I don't believe the timeline. That is a long time spent talking at the door. I thought the 10 min. may have been the officer trying to develop RS/PC to enter the residence and search further for the subject of the warrant, or to try to uncover a lead as to her current whereabouts. But you have more experience on the subject that I do. |

We will assume, for the sake of this thread, that the address on the warrant was not surrounded on three sides by properties controlled by the police department. That means entering someone else's property, without a warrant, so they can watch the back of the building. That would be trespassing. Well then, I guess if I should ever fid myself in the situation where LE is looking for a suspect on my property I can tell them to GTFO or I'll have the lot of them charged with trespass. Depends on the circumstances. Most cops aren't silly enough to go on fishing expeditions for something that a cheap attorney could so easily disprove. If you find a bunch of cops in your back yard, odds are excellent that they've got a legal justification to be there. They teach that stuff in cop school - statutes and case law so that when they make an arrest, it doesn't get thrown in the trash bin like all of the ones on television would be if the cases ever got to an attorney. Besides that, most of them really don't want to know what's in your back yard, anyway. They prefer their vision of the community uncorrupted by two foot high piles of dog shit, crusty porno mags in the tree house, and spray painted mannequins with bizarre, blond wigs and dressed in Spiderman underwear. |

Last I checked you didn't need a warrant to research thru public record to see if any new or more current info. can be found on the subject of the warrant. Another poster came up with the subject's current facebook info. and phone number. I guess it's official, LE is dumber than GD, since GD can get better warrant service info.

Good point. I have wrongly assumed the police would be more accurate than a delivery driver. Silly me. You put too much faith in delivery drivers I agree with you but when was the last time a person or pet was shot because of a mistake made by a delivery driver. I used to be a driver helper for UPS during the holidays when I was in college never shot anyone or anything, I'm also sure that during the course of four holiday season's I have delivered more packages to total strangers homes than most cops will ever respond to over the course of their careers and I still managed to do it without shooting anyone or their pets. "I have not been attacked by a dog" =/= dogs dont attack people Will see if I can find the pictures I think I saw them on an old drive awhile back. That was 10 years ago and it took me a good 3 years to make a full and complete recover for the bits. So yea I'm more than aware of how bad a dog bit can be even if it is only a few puncture wounds. The other 2 times it was nothing more than a torn pant leg.

In that one instance where you were injured, would you have shot the dog, if you were carrying a firearm? |

I have been attacked and bitten 3 times. The worst was the 2nd time by a chocolate lab who was sleeping on the porch behind some trash cans.

OK....Let's run your scenario ....If this is an arrest warrant then there is not one fucking thing you can do if the suspect is concealed within the residence unless they somehow make their presence known to you. The king of the oompa-loompas could answer the door and say the suspect isn't there and are not known to them, Then what ?? You shoot the dog to provoke an emotional response that will hopefully flush the suspect from hiding View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Well first clue should be when a male answers the door instead of the female listed, you might want to radio your buddy out back and tell him to slow his roll, you know, de-escalate a bit. Second, keep officer "I gotta get it on" in the loop while questioning the male that answered the door, doesn't need to be a blow-by-blow account, Just maybe something along the lines of "these are not the droids we are looking for" type thing. Or maybe officer trigger happy could have put in a request for the dog owner to secure the animal ?? Or is that all too obvious ?? So she can't have a BF that lives with her or maybe a family member staying with her? I didn't realize that only people with the warrant out for them answer the door. Thanks for the tip.

Lol all you want, in my state peace officers use the same standard for defense of self and others. Edit How the law is written and how the law is applied are frequently two very, very different things. I doubt any of you actually believe the same standards are applied. I wouldnt have said it otherwise I should have said "I doubt many of you", not "any." My apologies. You are fantastically naive, though. The same standard for speeding tickets also exists in the written law; do you think it does in the real world as well? |

The difference being, sir, is that if us "little folk" do it, we get brought before a Grand Jury and a Judge that don't know us from Billy-Bob. Whereas you get to have investigation by your friends/co-workers and go before a Judge that you might know and a Jury that believes that since you wear a badge, you could do no wrong. Big difference there...Just because the LAW states that we are the same, we are most definitely not treated the same. Do you get placed in handcuffs after you discharge your weapon while the initial investigation is started, because we do.... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Do you get placed in handcuffs after you discharge your weapon while the initial investigation is started, because we do.... Not all of 'you.' I don't work in Arizona, and have never served as a policeman outside Georgia. I have attended many shootings, stabbings, and arrest warrants where folks were cuffed and charged appropriately. I have also attended a few where someone was defending their person, was not cuffed, and not charged. The OIS I've been present for, including my own, no, we were not handcuffed. We were investigated by fellow officers, but depending on the department, you may or may not want them working the case. In either, the GBI (our state level 5.11 fashion show) does the external investigation. At my last department, the man in charge of IA was quoted as saying, "My investigators' job is to find the officer guilty." My current department, not so much. I will grant that an officer involved shooting will be experienced differently than a Joe the Armed Citizen shooting. Much of that difference, especially outside my jurisdiction, I can't influence. Until I'm elected King, that is |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: 3. Cross referencing is your friend...Let that sink in a bit ....Again cross referencing is you friend. If you are too stupid to realize that (supposedly) right address does NOT make everything that happens afterward OK, and that people can and frequently do, move from one domicile to another then you need a career chan The warrant is for the address listed on the warrant. Checking inside of or even the curtlage of a different address requires a new warrant. Da fuq are you talking about ????? ^^^^^^CASE IN POINT ^^^^^^^ Cross reference the info. on the warrant with multiple sources of pubic record, since by LE own admission the subjects of warrants tend to give false info., the onus to check across the board is even higher to verify that your info. is both CURRENT and CORRECT. Be prepared to re-evaluate on scene since you already know the possibility of shit being wrong is a given.. Last I checked you didn't need a warrant to research thru public record to see if any new or more current info. can be found on the subject of the warrant. Another poster came up with the subject's current facebook info. and phone number. I guess it's official, LE is dumber than GD, since GD can get better warrant service info. How do you know that info the poster got was correct? It came from facebook and we all know that everything on the internet is true. By the same justification you use to verify the address actually goes with the subject of the warrant. It was printed on a screen, it was the most current info. provided, I have no reason to doubt the poster provided false info......See how that works ?? What serves you better in court and in reports? Court Records or Facebook? Considering how I keep seeing that LE is using Facebook to bust idiots wholesale, I can't see that either one would be more beneficial than the other. I would imagine the one with the most accurate info. would be given the most weight. If it's admissible, then it's admissible correct ?? Given the numerous times LE have posted in this thread of how folks lie on court documents I would think an argument could be made that each are equally valid....YMMV. |

I've been involved in two OISs as a non trigger puller and I hated those investigations let alone as the actual shooter. We bring in an outside agency to run our OIS investigations and they look for all possible ways to burn you ETA: I should also note I've been involved in a couple self defense cases and I never even requested charges |
