Well, 49er I am going to guess that you just got to the bottom of this.
I wonder how many of the guys would be screaming like crazy, if they had be charged with this.
If this charge stands. And they find him guilty. We are all in trouble.
If walking with a gun makes you guilty of hunting. I have hunted at night my whole life. I hunt at night everytime I go hunting. SHITttt. I wont worry about what time to get to the woods anymore. If I hunt till dark and walk back after dark. THEN I AM HUNTING AT NIGHT.
THIS IS BULLSHIIIT. I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR TROY, BUT HE IS WRONG ABOUT THIS. A JURY WILL NEVER MAKE THIS STICK.
And Troy please dont say I am reading it wrong. What you are saying is that this is a Judgement Call. Well I say that the law will side with Bucky on this Judgement Call. There is a thing called REASONABLE DOUBT
Rob, trust me you don't want law enforcement WITHOUT any judgement calls...only by the letter of the law. What we do want is Officers with GOOD judgement.
Take an example of a man taking his five year old fishing. Dad sets up the tackle, baits the hook, and casts the line out, and immediately hands the rod to his child. Technically, by the law, dad was fishing. He dosen't have a license...he gets arrested by ol Letter of the Law Officer.
When I was working I'd set and watch a fella to see how it played out. Above senario would be no ticket, no warning, ya'll have a nice day.
Now same setting, lil different. Dad is tossing a baitcasting reel, with a Zara Spook on it. He casts, works the lure, hooks the fish, reels it to the banks and allows junior to "help" pull it on the bank. What do you think and would you check his license???
Same set but dad dosen't let junior do anything but watch...and when you approach him dad says junior is the one fishing and hands the rod to him.....
Tell me again you don't want any judgement calls made by LEOs.......
and, for the record, I HAVE seen bad judgement calls made by LEOs....but I believe, after 26 years of enforcement, that the good far, far, outweighs the bad.
troy
btw...I ain't wrong....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
