That's what I think too whether it's a collar or a vest, there

soupie

It's the vest. It's already something you legally need to get certification for

coltonbyu

7/10/18 11:10pm

The vests are also really hard to get. You can't just order them on Amazon...

Yep. This is the problem. Not enforced

Yes . One should be ticketed for lying in this regard

CarolinaCoug

I thouggt of this. Yes there should be a standard federal id AND

CarolinaCoug

There should be separate vests

IMO a proper federal guidelline for licence for service

Most people with auto immune or invisible disabilities are good at hiding them

Mabuhay Coug

Lol. Yep, needs to be far more official than that.

The vest should just have the license attached

They are a menace for sure

Born2Fish

Was the dog a service animal?

Mabuhay Coug

7/11/18 11:35am

This is precisely why I think licensing would be welcome by those who need them.

soupie

So why did you give my post a thumbs down since we agree?

the phrase "take advantage of" can be interpreted positively or negatively

I guess.

At the place where I work we are absolutely prohibited from asking.

Maybe the pets are there to help them with those mental issues. 🙂

Here are the rules and standards for a service dog under the ADA

Can you ask to see the permit?

yep. looks like asking what the dog is trained for is specifically allowed

coltonbyu

Regular people arent bound by HIPPA btw. Could be harassment though

Questions one can ask, directly from ADA website

Mabuhay Coug

HIPPA is not the correct term you want to use I believe.

Radioactive Coug

7/12/18 12:29am

HIPAA is correct

Mabuhay Coug

7/12/18 8:01am

No--HIPAA only applies to health care providers/industry professionals

Goliath

7/12/18 9:34am

Goliath is correct. HIPPA is meant as a control for people who already have access to your health information.

Radioactive Coug

7/12/18 10:33am

HIPPA is meant to protect privacy in all situations

Mabuhay Coug

Dude, we know all about it being illegal for them to ask. We said as much. Everything you say is accurate, except that

Thats exactly what the person recommended, then you said it would be HIPAA.
