Drug Smuggler sues USA

[Hum]

A drug smuggler has sued the United States after he was mauled by a Border Patrol dog while illegally transporting marijuana over the U.S.-Mexico border.

Jose Manuel Marino-Najera had joined a group of drug smugglers to cross the border to get to New York in search of work in June 2013. Since the 31-year-old father of three didn't have any money, the group had taken him on board free of charge only after he agreed to carry a backpack filled with marijuana across the border.

After crossing into the Arizona desert through an undesignated port of entry with the rest of the group, Marino fell asleep under a tree - and allegedly woke up with the Border Patrol dog biting on his arm.

Last week, Marino filed a claim against the U.S. in federal court claiming that the unleashed dog had attacked him when Border Patrol agents had approached another member of his group on June 21, 2013.

As the agents were apprehending and detaining the unidentified man for carrying drugs in his backpack, the unleashed canine had ran down the hill and mauled Marino's arm.

Okay, that's going to get tossed out. 1) You entered the US via a non authorized entry 2) You are carrying a pack full of marijuana. But now you want to sue CPB because their dog bit you?!

So I guess if a german shepard bites a burglar in your home, you can be sued too ...

So he was injured as a consequence of breaking multiple laws, and thinks he deserves compensation for the injury? Did he utilize some of his cargo?
