C W Burfle posted:An individual, dealer or not, locked not one but two dogs in a minivan from some southern state, I believe. I spoke to a Security Member as I have in my car a small sledge hammer for helping me get my lug nuts off my tires. I voluntered to smash all the windows to get to these dogs. I was told not to do it as I would be given a summons for destruction of private property. I was there when the individual, with the Security Force there, opened the door, when a Doberman and Pit Bull came out. The Doberman was drinking water, supplied from a TCA Member, as fasat as it was put into a water dish. The Pit Bull was laying on the ground.
It's my impression, that if the dogs look to be in distress, an individual could legally break the windows in NYS. If so, I imagine you'd better have some witnesses.
Wouldn't have mattered to me. The window would be broken. Period.
