cited for killing a rattlesnake?????

Negative ghostrider. Cited for shooting an animal from a public roadway.

That doesn't seem right...due to the pesky constitution and bill of rights.

Failure to allow inspection? I think I'd tell the old green jeans he had a failure to obtain a warrant. That's the kind of thing that peeves me about the law.

Old green jeans... This cracks me up!

I could understand if they saw someone doing something (like the case in the report {KIND OF}) but the gray area begins with the "reasonably believes" that a person has done something.

What if a game warden watches me load a "heavy cooler" on my own farm? Is that reasonable suspicion for him to barge onto my property? According to that Texas law, apparently it could be.

In my opinion some of those laws allow the pricks in the system to harrass people.

Game wardens have so much power it's unreal. Thankfully, for the most part, they seem to wield it honestly.
