This happens in Florida too.

Currently dealing with a similar problem in Indiana. 2 officers came to my house and harassed my wife 2 months after gun season . Their first question was if I was home. I was not because I’m a firefighter. They cornered her on our back deck and told her that she didn’t look like a hunter and even made her make deer noises. This was the first deer she had ever harvested. This questioning and harassment went on for over an hour. They wrote her a ticket for illegally checking the deer because it was taken 300 yards out our back door on private property. They didn’t know I had a farm lease on the property. . This will be a year in January and we have not had a court date and they still have her deer they illegally took. We have since filed a sexual harassment claim against the officers from the event. Nothing came from it.

QUESTIONS PLEASE IF YOU DON'T MIND: * Have you "posted" your property yet? * If not, PLEASE look up the laws in your state and do it ASAP. (also check to see if you can do it if you're leasing and then get the owner's WRITTEN permission). * Then, put a gate in and have it locked at all times. * Then, you and your wife take photos of you standing in front of the gate with the "Posted" signs and at other locations. * Then install cameras and motion sensors. SPECIAL NOTE: * IF A POLICE OFFICER DOESN'T HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT OR A WARRANT FOR SOMEONES ARREST... AS SOON AS THEY COME ON YOUR PROPERTY, THEY ARE TRESPASSING! * YES, IT APPLIES TO POLICE ALSO! WE THE PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS. * SPECIAL NOTE: THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS SO CHECK THE LAWS. Example: if the police are chasing a criminal and they think he or she is on your property or in your home, they can come onto your property. Just check the laws so you're prepared.

I went through a similar issue in MN. I had a beach house I was remodeling. It was unique and grandfathered due to its close distance to the shoreline. I had all the necessary permits, but at 7 months into the project I receive a cease and desist order accompanied by arraignment notice whereas I was charged criminally for performing work without the required permits. After waiting 16 months for trial, as there was only one misdemeanor trial call a month and I never made it in the top 10 for priority, I filed a demand for a speedy trial. The demand required the trial proceed in less than 60 days. The morning of the last call trial call available, the county attorney dismissed the charges. The delay expenses and legal fees totaled in excess of $10K. I was going to bring a motion for sanctions against the county attorney for frivolous and harassing litigation. This is when I determined why the county attorney had brought the matter as a criminal case, rather than civil. You cannot bring sanctions against a prosecuting attorney, in a criminal case, in MN.

I had a very similar experience. However, I guessed (correctly) what they wanted to talk to me about. I press prepared for the meeting by pulling together all the documents needed to defend myself. I had the wildlife agents meet me at my office instead of at my house. My office is in the same building as my attorney. I invited them in to a conference room and told them I was recording everything. They looked at each other and one of them pulled out his phone and turned on the recorder. I had a witness in the conference room - they wanted to know why he was there. I told them he was thete as a witness. I let them do the good cop - bad cop routine for about 1.5 hours. When they got to the part where I was pretty sure they were going to arrest me they asked if I needed an attorney. I said "Not right now but he's in the next room if I change my mind." I told them I had what I think they were "confused about", flipped over the documents I had ready on the table, and told them I was saving them some time as all the documents I was providing were filed into the public records at tbe court house and that these were certified true copies. It was priceless to see the excitement and enthusiasm drain from their faces. They thought they were going to perp walk me out of there and get there pictures in the papers. They slunk out of my office and I haven't heard from them in 2 years. Before anyone asks I had done absolutely nothing wrong and followed all the rules. The whole story is too long for this venue.

As an avid salt and freshwater fisherman, I’m am distinctly aware of the power these natural resource/ game commissions wield. Make one wrong step and you can lose a car, boat and even a house. While I do feel conservation and awareness are necessary, I do feel these agencies have entirely too much power. More often than not this power is abused and leads to situations like the one here. Very sad that this happened. Hopefully doesn’t deter him from continuing to hunt and enjoy what our creator has given us.

I think there needs to be a law prohibiting any type of lies or false declarations used by any law enforcement agencies from being used. We need some real justice to halt this type of actions and hold the deceptive cops and law enforcement agents to a higher standard. By allowing them to use the deceptive tactics we are basically granting them the ability to keep rehearsing all of the absolute lies and when they appear in court 'sworn' to tell the truth they are no longer capable of being truthful.

[@frotobaggins7169]

If they are allowed to lie, how will anyone, including themselves, know where the truth starts and the lies end? If they lie, we have to assume EVERYTHING they say is a lie therefore they can not by nature be trusted in any aspect of anything.

My son in law from out of state was issued a Ticket for hunting without a license while hunting hogs here in TEXAS. The law specifically exempted any hunter from being required to have a license to kill depredating hogs on private property. I stated this to the Warden and he got puffy and wrote the ticket anyway. It was dismissed by the JP after showing him the law and calling TPWD to confirm that he was hunting legally. The Wardens write many tickets knowing that most people will just pay it rather than fight it. Absolute violation of hunter’s rights, but nothing is ever done to deter them from doing this.

And now, to recover any of that, he has to fork out more money and risk losing a lawsuit. And, because of qualified immunity, the game wardens face no direct personal consequences.

There should be a complaint process for this type of behavior that these knot heads would be looking at being decertified. A totally different process than being sued in federal court. I would have troubles with someone crossing County lines without a proper court order let alone going into another State without a warrant or with probable cause that a crime had been committed. The officers in the South Carolina jurisdiction need their hand slapped as well for allowing this to take place.
