The OP should be updated to include the very important word "unrestrained." Then, it should be moved to political talk before the dick measuring contest goes too far here.

Ok. Where does it end. Your family has a much greater risk of being injured from a dog running out in the road. So let's just ban dogs all together. You may go to Popeye's and choke on a chicken bone at lunch. Lets ban chicken. There comes a point where you have to quit making laws for every little thing that may or may not happen and let people live their life.

Leash laws already exist as well.

According to this nothing new is being introduced and it's just wasting time.
Change this law to include dogs riding unrestrained in cabs and watch the uproar. My ex girlfriend, who was FURIOUS if I let my dog ride in the bed of my truck across a cow pasture, rides with her dog in the back seat all the time. She would throw fits when I insisted she put her dog in a box. Those are the kind of people who would push some feel good shite like this and it pisses me off.

My family can choose to not eat chicken.

I think you and I are saying the exact same thing. Include animals in the definition of load and also include in cab animals. I rode around all the time with my heelers on the 4-wheeler while going through pastures and now when my pointers want a ride they can ride too. I don't do it on the open public road.

What's your point? They're obviously not working. I probably passed 5 dead dogs on my way to work. Dogs are still getting squished at an alarming rate and putting themselves in front of vehicles.

Amd? Your family can choose to live in a bubble if you want to.

It's not my fault that LEO do not enforce certain laws.

My point was that eating chicken is a choice that I can make. If I feel it is unsafe, I can choose to not eat chicken.
I cannot choose who gets in front of me while driving on the highway.

I'd get on board with that.
Don't single out dogs in truck beds. If the housewives can ride their ankle biters in the driver seat because locking them up hurts their feelings, well damnit tying my dog up hurts my feelings and he's riding in the back.

I've seen more than a few F-250 and 350 men drivers who have their ankle biters in their lap.

some people are literally too stupid to talk to and ULM is that guy today.
and I'm all about freedom. Want to ride your bike with no helmet? have at it. Eat whatever you want, smoke all the cigarettes you want.
This is about someone being reckless with their responsibility that can cause harm to another human and cruelty to animals that are supposedly cared for by their owner.

No it isn't. It's about making the subdivision wives happy.

I don't understand your thinking. Unless you live in a bubble you are putting yourself at risk everyday. Having to be policed for every little aspect of life is not the way I want to live. There comes a time when you have to police yourself and have the government stay out of it. The end.

When your actions could potentially put others at harm, sometimes you need to be policed.
You can put yourself at harm all you want, but when it comes to my family, if it takes government intervention to stop you from putting them at risk, then so be it.
This all just seems like common sense to me.

Your rights stop where my rights start.
I'm sure you would feel different if you lost a loved one because someone couldnt take an extra 30 seconds to hook a leash to their dog's collar.

Waste of time and money

This law already exists. If that happened right now, I'm sure the dog's owner would have some serious legal repercussions to deal with.
ETA: AND if it did happen, people wouldn't ride with dogs in the back of the truck. If that has actually happened, advertise that on facebook and you'll solve a wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lot more of the problem then you would passing this law, for free, without requiring legislative approval.
It's not about fixing problems. It's about making emotional people feel better.

If it's really about safety, they would decide everyone needs to pass a driving test and written test every year, or otherwise have their car impounded and license taken away. I cannot believe a regulation that governs only one tiny percentage of traffic hazards is genuine in its intent until the regulators begin to tackle the largest problems in the same manner.
