Not necessarily so, contrary to what many people say, a warning from the cops is enough to make most of them change their behaviour. Personally I'd be satisfied with that for the moment, and continue to monitor the situation from there. If it continues, call them again and quote what the guy said about issuing a ticket "next time it happens".

It just really galls me how some people keep aggressive dogs in residential areas.
I guess it depends whether you think being injured is worth the risk. Contrary to what some in this thread think, I expect it would be rather difficult to win a law suit on the basis of "what might have happened" or "almost happened".

Again, if you think it's worth the risk, go ahead. Of course, I wouldn't be the one volunteering to "get bitten".
