Be glad it wasn't enhanced into being a felony, otherwise you'd have no "legitimate purpose" for owning a dog.

Illinois bill bars felons from owning 'assault style' dogs

Bill aims to take bark out of felons
By Philip Ewing
POST-DISPATCH SPRINGFIELD BUREAU
04/07/2006

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.

Reasoning that dogs can be used as weapons, the Illinois Legislature has passed a measure that would bar convicted felons from owning them without safeguards.

Under a bill that won final House approval Friday, ex-convicts in Illinois wouldn't be allowed to own dogs for 10 years after being released from prison, unless the dogs are spayed or neutered - procedures which make it less likely the animal will be aggressive.

The legislation is designed to stop criminals from using vicious animals as weapons to guard crack houses or methamphetamine labs. Such dogs threaten law enforcement officers and neighbors alike, backers said.

"This is something that's needed to help protect police," said Rep. Jerry Mitchell, R-Rock Falls.

The bill passed the House 95-19.

Opponents said that while spaying or neutering dogs might make them a little less vicious, the fact that felons can still have the dogs doesn't really make anyone safer.

Rep. Bill Black, R-Danville, said it was cruel to potentially deny a pet to anyone.

"I've been blessed with a number of dogs who've let me be part of their lives, and knowing how important that relationship is with the dogs, I can't in good conscience vote for this bill," said Black.

The bill, HB2946, now goes to Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

No. No conviction, no waiver needed. I assume they did not punch a hole in your driver lisc.when they first stopped you? I have been on anumber of trips where one or maor pax had a DUI and got sent back home, but no conviction, or a reduced convition for soemthing lessor will keep you off the list. I guess Canada has enough drunks without us adding to the pack

Is it just me or are lawmakers just making stuff up to do these days?

First they will target the convicted felons and then the public. Slippery slope. Just like when they passed no smoking in restaurants, then bars, then any public place. Bing, bang, boom.

Just out of curiosity, what does someone have to do to get the Canadian wavier? The whole thing just seems crazy to me.

I read this entire thread and wondered to myself if people in other countries laugh at us. We have countless homeless, drug addicts, abused, and despaired. And, all our law makers can worry about is an ex-convict owning a dog! At least we are not French! With this said, I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Why would they be laughing at us, I just looked at the forms provided Scube3 and if I'm not mistaken, Canada wants 200.00 bucks for rehabilitating you if you got a drunk driving ticket in the US. WTF?

so do you need the Waiver or not?

No, you do not.

So if your arrested for DUI, and later the charges are reduced to Careless driving, but you still get ur drivers license taken away for awhile, how about then? Would you need the waiver? Or does Canada just look at the criminal end of it?

Thanks for your input......

Dude, seriously, you're on FI looking for legal information and it looks like you are starting to believe what you are reading. Are you really willing to take the chance of being turned away when you go there because some guy on here told you it's OK. I didn't look at that form but there must be contact info on there somewhere. Call the Canucks and ask them. I believe that the law up there says any felony. Is careless driving a felony in Canada?

DUDE,

Seriously, IM NOT LOOKING FOR LEGAL ADVISE. A fellow employee is in this situation with the DUI/CARELESS driving. Just trying to help a brotha out. I should have know better than to post a Serious Q on FI. I just figured there might be someone that knows off hand.

No, because reckless is not a felony in Canada. A DUI is considered to be in Canada the same as a felony, so thats when you you are barred until you get rehab. By rehab, they mean handing over money to them with an application.

If it's more than 10 yrs old and nothing else on your record then you don't need it. If its 5-10 yrs. then you just give some money, less than 5 yrs. you need the waiver
