that some god damn fuckin bs, mills and breaking stick wtf. why is it illegal to work any dog on a treamill???? this countrys doomed. and breaking sticks???? ohhh god my poodles was off a leash and a pitbull grabed her cause she ran at him, sorry maam i would break his grip off if i had my breakin stick but its illegal now. this is some bs, what can we do to fight that law cause its really not fair. to ban a breakin sitck is retarded cause just abt ever pit owner has one for accidents.

 

They still need probable cause to arrest you for this law which would take a lot more than just having a breaking stick on you. However it would put a red flag for law enforcement to keep an eye on you.

 

they forgot to ban hand walks

 

Very sad!!!!!!!

 

The bill is very vague and will most likely be shown to be the first time they actually try to enforce it they can't just set laws in effect by means of legislative fiat when it can be obtained by other means meaning laws already on the books and so forth the word that makes it so vague is INTENT.The burden of proof will be almost impossible for the DA's to prove.JMHO

 

Gee. How hard is it to prove probable cause when you have 3 pit bulls in the back yard. Wake up. They threw probable cause out years ago when the pit bull terrier is concerned.

What this means is that they are adding up the Rico predicates when these cases come to trial. It used to be a Rico Predicate when you had fighting dog paraphernalia. Now, since a breaking stick will now be a felony to possess, convictions will be much easier.

Wonder how long the genius in the NJ Governors office will also adopt this?

 

Fuc laws . This is a fu comunist mother fu country

 

The law is b.s.. It appears that soon they will only allow us to own furry pocketbook dogs and chihuahuas.

 

intent is bs, were losing our freedom more n more in this country, the gov and bleeding hearts r fuckin us

 

And the Governments war against the people marches on.

 

It looks like it is about to become the law there.

 

That's crazy. Wonder how many people will lose their dogs over this asinine law? Even if tested and found unconstitutional, chances are the dogs will already be dead.

 

What messes it up is the irresponsible retard backyard owners
