(UK) Police told to warn criminals before setting canines on them - in case they
« on: July 23, 2008, 01:24:02 PM »
The decline of the once-great British Empire continues - from the Daily Mail:

Quote
Being chased by a police dog was never intended to be a pleasant experience.

But now handlers are being extra careful to avoid upsetting criminals' sensibilities by giving them advance warning before dogs are set on them.


Forces across Britain are being instructed to 'avoid offending' sufferers of cynophobia - the clinical name for a fear of canines - or those allergic to dog hair.

"stop or I'll say, "stop" again!!! What a crock of  bullshit. Looks like France is the only country that has any balls any more. (Sorry Bijou) The Brits have really gotten emasculated.

I think police here in the US generally warn before releasing the dogs.  That makes the most sense, since you don't want to put the dog in danger if you don't have to.

Getting the perp to peacefully surrender is ALWAYS the preferred path.

the warning is this "Rusty, SICK".

the person can either stop and drop or take his chances.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

I believe the odds greatly favor the dog.

Pretty much.  If you know how you can defeat a dog fairly easily (most don't) but the cop is never far behind and you will probably not get them both.

A .45 will stop both rather quickly.

I think you'd have a tough time with a trained working dog - good luck though, let me know how it works out for you.

Release the dogs, the dogs have a field day and the criminal may think twice before doing it again, unless they're dumb,dumb as dirt.
