rapture,
no need for apology lol
just that I was told once that it's illegal to avoid a prang "irrespective"
red light , green light whatever.
Maybe it was BS
obviously a sensible judge would not fine the person who went through the red
Also lolSorry I thought you knew something I didn't
All good
Also lol
I screwed up in that off-thread and confusing post about red and green lights.
Obviously if you go through a green light and you are hit by someone running a red, then you are blameless sheesh.
What I meant was if you went through green and then HIT someone who went through red, then you are "less blameless". - as I said 98-2, or maybe 99.5: 0.5 whatever.
I mean, I suspect some fineprint in the road rules would say that you should always be able to stop in time to avoid things in front of you etc.
Also lol

Back to this thread -- If you have a dog that bites a burglar, then you are possibly guilty of something. But SURELY a sensible judge would ignore what the press says, and the robber would get a more severe sentence, - and maybe the dogowner would get a warning or charges quashed etc.
If you are guilty of cruelty to animals, and a good samaritan attempts to come over the fence to sort it out, then a sensible judge would surely come down harder on the homeowner (yes?)

PS whiskers - sure makes a change from discussing red and green lights.
(funny dude lol)
hey whiskers - here's a couple of stories- call em "how to' and "how not to" challenge a burglar
the right way - dog starts barking at night, I look out the window and some young bloke is making his way towards the house - I pull the blind back and say " mate, I can let the dog out if you like - but in any case, I've already rung the police" - he took off
the wrong way - dog starts barking - I wake and hear the billycarts beside the house being stolen ( I'd made em for a cubs event) - in fact three young blokes are heading for the front gate with them in tow.... I charge to the door with a lump of 4X2, dog barking like crazy by now lol - he was a Great Daneand he's skidding out on all the corners lol - kids take off down the street leaving the go carts - into an HR Holden and woom - off in a cloud of dust.
So I get in the car wearing my pyjama pants - which look remarkably like a pair of Y fronts lol - and the dog , and charge after them, - get to the corner, the HR is gone, but there's a police car. So I pass that and pull them over with a handsignal. I run back and ask them "have you seen an HR go past with 3 teenagers?" - they listen... heads tilted lol " because they tried to steal my go carts" ...
At this stage the first cop says to me "ok o k- look , um - just blow in this straw for us will you" - so sure I give up on the chase for a bit and blow - result is Im stone cold sober -
Cops look amazed .. " bullsh1t" says the first cop - gives me another straw - "Do it again!!" - lol - again I pass.
He drives away saying "ok if I see an HR I'll let you know ..." vrrmmm
I call out to their dust " but, but, you don't even know where I liv...."
yep I'd probably have been in trouble I suggestYou see ... Now if the dogs had bitten them ...... ????? .......?????? PJs probably scared them off .....

COUNCIL ORDERS REMOVAL OF PIT BULL AFTER ATTACK
Janice Harris
A woman says she will defy an Orange City Council order to cage or surrender her restricted breed American pit bull terrier which she says is like a member of her family.
“She’s our baby - like one of the family - she even sleeps on my two-year-old’s bed,” owner Chantell Farrell said.
The order from council rangers came after the dog escaped from the family home and attacked another dog, biting a man who tried to separate the dogs.
Ms Farrell yesterday said the dog had lived inside the house with her family for eight years and would fret if separated from her young children and caged in the backyard.
“To me she’s a lap dog. I am going to fight this,” she said.
However, Orange City Council rangers visited the home yesterday and gave Ms Farrell an ultimatum, saying she had 14 days to meet the requirements for owning a restricted breed.
Communications manager with Orange City Council Nick Redmond said council had no option but to ensure compliance with State Government legislation which requires restricted breed dogs to be desexed, caged and muzzled when out of a caged environment.
Ms Farrell said her 10-year-old American pit bull ‘Narla’ has been part of the family for eight years and had formed a strong bond with her two preschoolers aged five and two, living in close proximity with them since they were babies.
However, council says the unpredictability of the breed and its predisposition to unprovoked attacks had led to tight legislation which the council was required to enforce.
“The penalties are clear - $5500 for an animal which isn’t kept properly and up to $55,000 for a dog which has been involved in an attack, like this one has,” Mr Redmond said.
“The issue for council is protection of the community and compliance with legislation.”
Ms Farrell said the attack occurred after the dog escaped out the front door after her five-year-old daughter inadvertently opened it.
The dog was involved in a fight with a dog in the street. When a friend tried to intervene to separate the dogs, he was bitten on the face.
Agree with Rapture. This breed is more unpredictable than any other in my experience. I was walking through a park once with my dog on a lead walking beside me. A family came towards us, a pit bull also on a lead.
All looked OK, Pitbull wasn't straining at the leash or looking aggressive.
But just as the two dogs were side by side, the Pitbull just lunged at my dog aiming for her throat. Fortunately the owner quickly jerked it away before it actually made contact but it was a frightening experience.
Fines don't mean much to people like this woman.
On another day, a big Great Dane cross (unusual for these to be aggressive)decided to pick a fight with a very placid Boxer. - both male - no provocation, he just went for the other dog. But it was the way he went about it - the Boxer was kocked over on his back - the Dane Cross Grabbed its foreleg and gave it the rag doll treatment - massive cut , you'd have thought broken or dislocated as well. The owner of the Dane started to head off, but the boyfriend of the girl who owned the Boxer brought him back to get his details , and make him witness and acknowledge the damage - and he agreed to pay the vet's bills
