isaac - Agreed but the thing that's always bothered me is the fact that GW have more "power" than state or local police. You can't have evidence from a no warrant/illegal search done by a cop admitted into court so how can a GW get away with that?
Our game wardens have expanded search & seizure so that they can look for game in obscure places.. like an extra pheasant in your glove box, a fish in your waders, etc.
Over the years this has allowed officers to abuse the 4th amendment.
In California F&G now also protect non-game species and streams, habitat,etc.
They have evolved into a super cop agency that is used to spank large companies and ranchers over stupid laws. A rancher can not legally remove willows from a stream anymore or face F&G citation.
Too bad. They really have a lot of great officers.
