Game wardens may need warrant now

[S-3 Ranch]

Looks like federal court has declared a warrant is necessary to search private property.
The case is on appeal though

Not good

That article is infuriating.

They need search warrants. I can’t stand the thought that law enforcement (the government) feels like they can barge in on my property unannounced. They’re the only reason I lock the gate when I’m at deer camp.

They can walk up the hills if they feel the need to harass me.

yall know they need a warrant to come in your house already. Right?

It’s a step in a good direction probably overall. Wildlife shouldn’t be a way of cash flow for the state. It should be private property to the people that pay to manage and maintain.

Why, can’t we be afforded constitutional rights across the board ?

Since many aren’t hunting anyways, they are partying and banging a mistress, it ain’t right to walk in without a warrant.

Heck, I gave them the combination to my place. They are welcome anytime.

Why?

Did you give the combo to the local sheriff, constable, dea, atf, and fbi too?

Y’all are sticking up for a poacher

No, just to the game worden and border patrol agent. They are both welcome anytime.

Still didn’t say why? You’re fine with them just showing up day or night unannounced and coming onto your property. I was just wondering why


Are you also ok with them setting up surveillance cameras like the article talked about?

To cross over onto private property and place surveillance equipment law enforcement in Tx has always needed warrant or permission. Game Wardens have no different search and seizure powers than any other LE in Tx
