The GW's in Louisiana are strict as hell. Last year I hit a deer in my truck while on leave from Germany, and she wasn't dead yet. I took out my knife and dispatched her. The GW gave me fine. What I did was extremely ethical, and I wasn't going to lether thrash around, dying, on a public road while I had to sit there and wait for a GW and sherriff's deputy to get there.

Likely, if a GW caught you, he would warn you. There is always the chance that he could be having a bad day and decide to write you an outrageous ticket. It's up to you if you are willing to take that chance.
