    Default New Jersey to Issue Fines if Your Dogs or Cat are not buckled in!

    Loose Dogs or Pets in Your Car? Expect a Ticket thanks to the NJMVC!

    New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission claims that they will start to issue tickets in New Jersey to owners whose dogs or cats are not strapped (buckled) into a seat.

    Personally driving with an animal on your lap is a bad idea but restraining them to a seat that has automatic seat restraining mechanism when you brake is the dumbest idea since it could hurt them. Keeping them in the bed of the pickup is another story...



    Police and animal control officers are authorized to cite drivers with unrestrained animals in the car. Yes, that includes the back of a pickup truck too. Violators can be fined $250 to $1,000 per offense.
    More Information on this stupid law: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/201...in-new-jersey/

    This has been widely reported incorrectly by the media. Thankfully.... Police cannot issue a ticket for this. It comes under an administrative code that only sworn animal control officers issue. And there's not many of them. The media is causing widespread panic. There won't be an animal police patrol vehicle behind anyone anyday soon. But this IS New Jersey so expect them to spend whatever it takes to make it happen. Also you can probably expect a nonsense mirror image law to be enacted under the codes that police actually can enforce.

    That's very good to know....everyone is making to seem a big thing and well a $1000 is pretty ridiculous.

    In my case they only ride in the supercab of my F150. Between the fact of how high it sits, tinted out windows and the fact that my pups just lounge on my back seat, they'd never know...I just think there's so many other thinks they can be focused on in this state.

    Was wondering the same thing myself as I have third row seating in the pathfinder so how does that work if I put the dog in the back and use the second row as a barrier as my dogs are small and have a snowballs chance in hell of being able to jump over the seats

    I don't really think its that dumb. I always have my dog buckled in and it's much safer for her.
    My friends always have their dogs buckled in as well and it saved their lives when they were rear-ended.

    It's not like you just wrap a seatbelt around the dog.

    My dog wears one of these:
    http://www.rcpets.com/rcpets/index.p...VVH#main_panel

    Then what I do in my truck is just pull the seatbelt around back of the rear headrest (all the way so it locks) and buckle it in, going through this strap:
    ezydog seat belt harness strap 692 p

    I just leave that in my truck all the time, so when I take her, she jumps in and I just hook her to the harness. She can sit, stand, laydown, and move around. But not jump off the seat, come in the front, or get in my way.

    They even make these zip line things so they can have the full seat

    Personally, when I see a dog jumping around the inside of a car or hanging more than 50% out of a window, it annoys me so much. They should get fines, maybe not $1000, but it's still ridiculous.

    Just a few days ago someones cat jumped on the floor by her feet and she crashed into a pole.
    What happens if she swerved the other direction and took out a family or something?
