I provided the law below.

Louisiana Revised Statutes. Title 3. Agriculture and Forestry. Chapter 18. Animals Running at Large. Part V. Dog License Tax. § 2771. Dogs not to run at large

Statute Details

Citation: LSA-R.S. 3:2771

No person shall suffer or permit any dog in his possession, or kept by him about his premises, to run at large on any unenclosed land, or trespass upon any enclosed or unenclosed lands of another.

Based on this, my friend explained that is why they issue tickets in these types of situations.
