Make it legal in NJ for law enforcement to break a car window to save animals in distress

The Issue

In the state of New Jersey it is a crime to leave your pets in a hot car. However it is against the law for law enforcement or samaritans to break the car window to save the animal. This is legal in many states and this needs to be legal in NJ. Hundreds of animals die each year in hot cars. We need to be their voice. Please sign this petition to save these animals. Thank you
