RE: Accidentally broke law - need advice
WELL I SUPPOSE YOU CAN PLEAD IGNORANT ON BREAKINGANY LAW HOWEVER YOU EITHER BROKE THE LAW OR YOU DIDEN'T ... ITS LIKE A SPEEDING TICKET ...YOU WERE EITHER SPEEDING OR YOU WERN'T .. IF YOU FEEL YOU WHERE UNJUSTLY CITED THEN FIGHT IT ...BUT IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU BROKE THE LAW JUST BE A MAN AND PAY THE FINE AND LEARN A LESSON ..WE LIVE IN ALABAMA AND ALSO HUNT TENNESSEE ... ONE YEAR MY SON AND I WHERE CHECKED BY A TENNESSEE GAME WARDEN ... WE BOTH HADNON RESIDENCE LICENSE ($156.00 )..WE HAD WRITTEN PERMISSION TO BE ON THE LAND WE WERE HUNTING ....BUT THE GAME WARDEN TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO ARREST MY SON WHO DID NOT HAVE A HUNTERS SAFTY CARD OF ALL THINGS...AT THE TIME MY SON WAS ABOUT 25 AND WHEN WE PURCHASED THE NR LICENSE AT A WALMART IN TENNESSEE NO ONE TOLD US HE NEEDED A HUNTERS SAFTY CARD TO GO ALONG WITH HIS NR LICENSE ... THERE WHERE NO SIGNS IN THE STORE THAT EXPLAINED HE NEEDED ONE ..TO MAKE A SHORT STORY LONG ..I HAD TO PAY A $285.00 FINE ON TOP OF THE $156.00 NR LICENSE AND THAT WAS AFTER THEY FINGER PRINTED HIM AND TOOK MUG SHOTS ... I WAS PISSED OFF ABOUT IT BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER WAS WE HAD BROKE THE LAW EVEN THO WE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A LAW... NEEDLESS TO SAY THE NEXT YEAR MY SON HAD HIS HUNTERS SAFTY CARD AND NOW IS AN INSTRUCTOR .... MORAL TO THIS STORY ... IF THE SHOE FITS ...PAY THE FINE ..
