A woman accusing a police dog, after a trial a fine of about 100,000 yen is ordered

I heard that there are women who accused the police dog in the United States, but it seems that it finally resulted in being able to order a fine of about 100,000 yen. I feel that it is quite rare to file a complaint against a dog, but how did it come about under the circumstances?

Details are as below.

The 55-year-old woman, Inez M. Starks, sued the police dog. He seems to have appealed to the police dog of Warren police that he was bitten by the police dog. It is the German Shepherd that chewed Starks, claiming that the walking ability was impaired and the pain also felt as a result of the injured nerve of the sacroiliac bone.

However, according to the police report, there was no evidence that Mr. Starks was bite, the judge ordered a fine of 500 dollars (about 48,000 yen) for accusing a dog to frivolity. He also said that he was ordered a further fine of 500 dollars by not having been on the hearing in February.

Even if Mr. Starks paid a fine, then Warren's lawyer says that he will demand rejection of the judge.
