Looks like Miami Dade County is being challenged with a lawsuit that the breed ban is Unconstitutionally Vague. The case seems similar to the amicus that was recently filed in Denver that I discussed yesterday. According to lawyer Rima Bardawil:
"Miami Dade county's Ordinance 89-22 improperly forces people of common intelligence to have to guess as to the meaning of the statute, and differ as to its interpretation. A better case of a statute or ordinance being struck down as being void for vagueness could not have been created."
I have no idea why a city would even want to deal with the lack of Constitionality of these laws all for legislation that has proven itself to be ineffective at improving public safety.
Kick A, kick A, kick A! Attorney Bardawil sounds aggressive (finally!) and sounds like this county has now been put on the defensive, rather than vice versa, as it SHOULD be. I'm looking for a WIN and a great precedent to support more repeals!

In answer to your question "Why a county would fight to keep this EVIL and HEINOUS LAW" Most counties are failing on real issues Crime etc. Dade County where I have had personal experience with their animal-control and a Genocidal Maniac by the name
of Sean Galagher will fight vigously to keep the right to Murder innocent animals.
I have family in that county and I have told them I will never set foot there as long as this neo-Nazism exists.
