Reply to comment by Mago_Barcas in Hunter won’t face charges for killing dog in Berks County by narkj

If lurking on the legal advice subreddit has taught me anything, suing for the value of a dog isn't worth the court costs. From what I understand, dogs are valued similarly to cars in that their value goes down as they age. Dog was 2k as a puppy and lives 10 years on average? You'd be lucky to get $200 for an 8 year old dog

FYI lawyers don’t go on there. The advice is terrible

Hahaha. I can't imagine a lawyer coming home from work and wanting to give free legal advice on reddit. My wife doesn't even like doing that for friends because she says that to answer a question completely you almost always end up having to do a bunch of research on one thing or another.

I've learned from r/BestOfLegalAdvice that the advice givers are mostly cops.

That is my impression of looking at that sub.

I've seen advice like "If the police want to speak to you, they probably already have evidence against you and you should talk to them to clear everything up, easy peasy."
