This isn't a private property issue in the slightest. Whether it was a mailman delivering a package, a Girl Scout trying to sell cookies, a Jehovah's witness trying to convert or a police officer trying to notify the occupant that their door was unlocked, the occupants had a duty to restrain their dog in this case.
Believe me when I say I'm all about personal freedoms, but this isn't a story about some officer illegally trying to detain an occupant without a warrant or reason. It's a story about a "should have been good Samaritan" trying to warn the ladies their door was unlocked. Trying to equate the two is nonsense. Regardless of the actions of the officer once the dog was released (which I have no issue with people arguing was excessive), no one should be arguing he shouldn't have been there. It's nothing but bias cop hate if they are.

Again, not in the situation we are discussing.
