@@slappychap969 Ideological subversion is a process by which an enemy seeks to weaken and eventually overthrow a target nation or society by infiltrating its institutions and gradually changing its values, beliefs, and culture. According to Bezmenov, the process of ideological subversion has four stages: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. The first stage of demoralization involves the gradual erosion of a society's moral and ethical values, often through the manipulation of education, media, and culture. The second stage of destabilization involves the creation of social and economic chaos, often by exploiting existing divisions and conflicts within a society. The third stage of crisis involves the escalation of conflict and the breakdown of social order, leading to a situation of extreme vulnerability. The final stage of normalization involves the imposition of a new social and political order that is more favorable to the interests of the enemy. Bezmenov argued that the Soviet Union was actively engaged in a program of ideological subversion against the United States and other Western democracies during the Cold War. He believed that the Soviet Union sought to undermine Western values and institutions by infiltrating and manipulating key institutions such as the media, academia, and government. Bezmenov's ideas continue to be controversial and debated today, but his work has had a significant impact on the study of propaganda, disinformation, and psychological warfare.

You have to put up an unbroken fence and a gate completely around your entire property. That extends 'curtilage' all the way to the property boundary. It's no longer called curtilage, instead it's refereed to as a 'moat'. Even if it's not a water moat. And if you leave your gate open, it becomes a 'public access point'. Basically an invitation.

[@x-mess]

You're right but that can get expensive... and stops/curbs wildlife from passing through... that's y ppl move to these places sometimes..

[@matthewronsson]

In general, but state laws have to be checked too. In Oregon, if a gate is painted Orange, it is considered legally closed even if it's left wide open by default. It's considered the same as a "No trespassing" sign. The idea is probably because signs can be torn down. It also lets an owner not bother to open and close the gate as he comes and goes, unless he has reason to.

That would be a substantial case law.

[@tomemig7465]

This has been a problem for years in Missouri. Game wardens claim they don't need a warrent to tresspass and search your house or property. They'll walk onto your land, disturb your hunt and ask you to come down from your tree stand and show your permit. If they hear a shot they might just decide to go check it out. Even if they are tresspassing. My local game warden told me a couple years back he doesn't need a warrant.

Fish and game officers are using a case based on a time when communication was difficult. It is not the problem now. The curtilage exception based on this needs to be looked at.

If the guns were all holstered, and you didn’t alert them to leave or you will be forced to defend yourself with force BEFORE shooting them…you are likely going to prison for life.

Find these so called game wardens and find out why they are snooping on the guys land to begin with. Sounds like a neighbor trying to create intriguing falsehoods to me. Most people look at no trespassing signs as that person is trying to hide something. Newsy neighbor syndrome. Or some pissed off hunter that is barred from exploiting your land. The key is to find who instigated the snoop order in the first place and why.

[@mahbriggs]

I read about this case recently. It appears his brother, who lives in a different county, was accused of some game violation. His brother is fighting the charge. It appears that they are hoping to find some evidence against one or the other. A gross violation of the law on their part! You can't just search somebody in hopes of finding a crime, you have to have evidence of a crime first! And just because one's brother is accused of a crime, is not evidence that you have committed a crime!

[@coop5329]

@@mahbriggs Ah, but they can and do. The cops do it every day, stopping drivers for fishing expeditions, asking if they can search the vehicle and when told no, holding the driver while they bring a so-called drug dog which will fake an "alert" at the handler's signal. Then jump all over the vehicle causing thousands of dollars of damages. "Not legally allowed" means nothing to our govt. officials because the corrupt Supreme Court has given them a total pass with Qualified Immunity.

Does the "open fields" doctrine apply to rich people who can afford to erect elaborate fences to completely surround their property and install gates on their driveways? Are police allowed to penetrate the fence, including damaging the fence, to gain access to an "open field"?

[@Internal_Investigation]

If you're rich enough, no laws apply.

[@InstituteForJustice]

Good question! The open fields doctrine is categorical. So it allows warrantless searches of unmarked land. And posted land. And fenced land. And cultivated land. Heck, could put up a brick wall, dig a moat, and fill it with crocodiles. The open fields doctrine would still allow police to search your land without a warrant. Read Oliver v. United States, 466 U.S. 170 (1984), for a good summary of how broad it is. As for penetrating fences, our position is that doing so would constitute a seizure, which doesn't fall within the open fields doctrine. However, some courts have actually held that officers can break down gates to enter private land under the doctrine. See Moher v. United States, 875 F. Supp. 2d 739 (W.D. Mich. 2012).
