The Lacey Act is the most dangerous tool in the arsenal of any F&W enforcement agency or officer. It basically strips the accused of any of their constitutional rights including protection from unwarranted search and seizure. By saying thatthe accusedcrossed state lines the officer kicked in the Lacey Act which gave him sweeping and unmitigated powers that should never have been brought into existance in this country. This act is seriously abused by every enforcement agency in the US and should be eliminated entirely if not severely revamped to be brought in line with the US Constitution. The only way that's going to happen though is if enough of these abuses of power are documented and brought to the attention of caring senators. Unfortunately not enough of them survived the democrat's gutting of our pro hunting, pro personal rightsactivists in congress this last year...
