Reply to comment by complete_hick in A proposed bill in Florida would ban dogs from hanging their heads out of car windows by koavf

>Dogs traveling in motor vehicles.... would need to be secured in a size-appropriate crate and in a harness #or# pet seat belt, and be under supervision from someone other than the driver, the bill says.

Sounds like the supervision is only needed if using pet seat belt rather than size appropriate crate+harness

I disagree. The wording breaks down to A or B, and C. That comma indicates that it's one of the first two clauses AND the third clause. Of course, that's the problem with using this kind of language and not having it broken into sections so that it's clear what's meant.

Realistically, this is going to be used to selectively enforce yet another BS law that disproportionately affects the lower socioeconomic strata. Look like you might be <insert whatever exploitable demographic officer dickhead picks today>, "I'm sorry ma'am, your pet isn't be appropriately supervised by anyone other than the driver."
