I suppose evidence isn't worthwhile, straight to pokey for 6 months regardless of the circumstances.

Right I'm confused, if it wasn't intentional how do you know it was in no way an accident?
I've no idea what happened but what about this for a scenario (completely made up BTW)
The Cop goes into the office to pick up a piece of paperwork, something like a citation for court, a copy of a statement or similar. He knows where it will be and he should be in and out in a minute tops so he leaves the dogs in the car.
As he is inside someone trips one of the alarms, say for example a cop being attacked by a prisoner, and he rushes off to help them and ends up restraining a violent prisoner for some time.
In the rush and confusion he is busy trying to hold down someone and forgets the dogs are still in the back. By the time the situation calms down and he remembers it is all too late.
*IF* this was the case do you still think he deserves 6 months inside?
