[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8085753, member: 7808"] I understand that there's critical differences. However, I think the ADA (and HIPAA, and a few other things) are the novel legal arguments that can be used against that 115 year old case law. I don't know of any cases that pit these against each other. Also, as a side note, the reason that the "emotional support animal" cases you mention turned out that way is because emotional support animals are not recognized as service animals under the ADA. They are two critically different things; IIRC, dogs and miniature horses are the only animals that can be classified as actual service animals ([URL='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095652/']although I saw a documentary about monkeys possibly doing the job too[/URL]). I don't know of any case where a company has tried to block an actual service animal and won. The issue of masks would be much more akin to making accomodations for wheelchairs, oxygen, etc. Its the LEOs that won't enforce it and [I]don't[/I] make public statements that scare me more. I'd rather know what I'm dealing with up front. Also, I recognize that there's a little irony in me talking about how these orders might not be enforceable, but complaining about cops that feel the same way. However, I'm a random guy spouting internet armchair opinions about how the courts might rule, they're the ones that are supposed to be taking action to protect the public. [/QUOTE]
