Total Bull****, They have no reason to go rummaging through anyones stuff without asking first, just because they have a gun and a badge they think that they can do whatever they want. While they are there messin with someone who is most likely playing by the rules, some guy somewhere is loading a poached animal into a rig off of the beaten path where they are to scared to wander. The film canister deal sounds familiar, about 10 years ago I got busted smoking weed on the river bank by an under cover game warden, he took the pot, wrote me up and when I went to court they could not produce the weed, well of course it was good stuff so the game warden kept it for himself and I walked away with no violation. that works for me and I am sure the weed worked for him.
