IMO when a warden sees some breaking the law, then that person/s
should be busted right then and there. Like a drunk driver running
a stop light. You don't wait to see if he hits another car and perhaps
kill someone. As, with the warden he is there to protect wildlife and
not wait until it is gone to say I wanted to get those guys. If he sees it being comitted and can prove it then bust them. If he's a part of it and
he can not win it unless he is tried on it too. Either way he should be done working with the warden service as a result.
I'm not sure what case vtbuck is talking about. But,one case here was more of a personal vandetta against a Maine Guide where the guide was
encouraged to cook up a short bass for dinner. All because the warden
wanted his guides licsence and cost the courts, taxpayers,lawyer fees,
the guides reputation and the bit. Just to have the case thrown out.
Reason being they ate the evidence.IMO for what this nonsence cost us
taxpayers it should of cost this wardens job. I believe once the bass was dead it would of been enough to convict why wait. This guide buisness
has picked up due to the publicity of it all.
