What is the name of your state? NJ
i am aware nj is strict liability w/ exception of tomenting the dog or deliberate acts inteded to incite the dog.
the situation is this- the police office legally entered the owners house and pulled his weapon on the owner in order to arrest him. the dog then bit the police officer scarring him.
question- by drawing his weapon did the cop torment or deliberately incite the animal? is this a "firemans rule" situation?
any case law would be great as i can't find anything like this online.
thank you
