I have a real life situation I'm working on, and a question.
Land owner has a shooting range.
Land owner has told hunt club to keep out.
Hunt club tells members they are going to run landowner out of town.
Hunt club calls LEO also a hunt club member land owner shot their dog. No reason to think the land owner did it except they heard shots (it was Saturday during hunting season and there was shooting everywhere).
Pet LEO goes to land owners house and asks if he was shooting. Land owner says yes he was shooting at his range. No mention of a dog.
LEO says he wants a written statement saying he was shooting which landowner wrote, but wouldn't sign until LEO tells him why he wants it.
At what point does LEO need to advise landowner he has the right to remain silent....and no, it wasn't me. And...no, the land owner didn't shoot the dog if indeed a dog was shot.
