Sorry, guys, I don't buy it. The local police, state police, FBI, and every other law enforcement agency in the country has to abide by certain rules regarding searches, and I don't think the fish and game folks are any different. We have a constitutional guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure. If said gamie desired to check your vehicle, she should have asked first. No reasonable person is going to refuse, anyway. If she thinks you've done something illegal, she can detain you until a search warrent is obtained, anyway. I agree that they have a tough job, but as with any CIVIL SERVICE job, a good deal of your work is customer relations. A smile and a handshake can go a LONG way. Everyone is NOT a poacher, and shouldn't be treated that way. Nothing on their badge or in the charter of the F&G Commission says its OK to treat sportsmen and women as game thieves; last time I checked in this country we're innocent until proven guilty.
