    No, they are trained animals, in effect a tool. Should a police car be considered an officer of the law? no, of course not. If police dogs have the same rights as officers should they not be able to vote at police association meetings? The whole thing is just another demonstration of the degree to which we live in a police state!

    A police dog is an officer of the law. It is plays a vital role in law enforcement and should have the same respect as a police officer.

    Yes.

    BTW, a trained police dog IS considered to be a police officer. Many of them are better at it that the human type.

    The police state in its efforts to defeat crime has assigned many of the rights people enjoy to their Dogs .In court cases it is hard to distinguish if the officer is a dog or a man or is the man a law dog .

    Should a police officer be considered a dog of the law?

    Police canines as well as different police officials evaluate eachother relations. a lot of human beings evaluate their canines as relations as well. those canines value fairly some funds that pays for practise and the canines officer is attatched to that canines forever. You ask that query, ask your self even as officials of the regulation grew to develop into heroes? Its a similar question referring to diverse mamals. canines have taken bullets for individuals earlier and they threat their lives to quit human beings from committing crimes. I recommend looking a fallen ok-9 website and also you tell me their movements were no longer heroic. The canines are educated to carry their chew even even as being shot or bodily attacked. wish this helps!

    What kind of dumb question is this? Of course a dog should not be considered an officer of the law. He is nothing but a glorified pet with a bomb jacket.
