Even though keeping Pit Bulls out of the hands of drugs dealers is a good thing for law and order, as well as the dogs themselves, the Pit Bull community will howl like screech monkees over this.
They'll do and say anything to keep the sale of these dogs plentiful and unregulated.

ALL felons should be restricted from not only pit bulls but also ALL large potentially dangerous dogs.
This law is better than nothing.

Assuming it can stand up in court anonymous. By not specifying a breed -- a very obvious breed used by drug dealers -- that has a well-known history of documented violence and use by criminal offenders, prosecutors stand the risk of getting the charges thrown out.

The law should pour over into parole and probation stipulations, providing these departments are made aware. I believe they have a free hand to stipulate, "may not own a dog, (period)" without elaboration or specificity, but this could vary between jurisdictions. It would keep things simple to add the stipulation to the hard copy of automatic violations. At the very least, it gives police the ability to violate parolees in possession on sight.
Of course, I can hear it from here. "No-no, man! Ain't my dawg, bro. Get off me!" snap... tck-tck-tck-tck-tck-tck (sound of taser)

There is absolutely no evidence at all that "any" dog over 20lbs can be trained to be vicious. There is a WORLD of evidence that "any" pit bull can be trained to be vicious. One good lawyer will chuck this law out the window.

The pit bull lobby loves the fact that other, safer breeds have to be overregulated for these laws to be considered "fair".
