Raid by KDFW in Franklin Ky

[GeoFisher]

Exactly how I feel. The law isn't absolute, there is room for discretion when cooler heads have a chance to look this over. Now if it was found out that these folks knew or were connected to some illegal activity (I dont know but it doesn't sound like they were) then nail them. Just seems like they made a mistake. Yes ignorance is no excuse and if thats the stand then it's an expensive lesson.

Could be a great PR move for the law men in this case by bringing this out in the open as a public awareness warning. JMO

I'm surprised they didn't kick the door in, and shoot every last one of them.

AND we wonder why law enforcement get such a bad rap. I now a lot of police officers, and I KNOW they have a serious hard job, especially when dealing with REAL CRIME.

BUT this doesn't fit the bill if you ask me.

This is just like my post a few weeks ago about the EPA kicking in a guys door for questioning the regional EPA director..........

SCARY STUFF.

Later,

Geo

The key word is "protected," not "endangered."

Completely remove the word "endangered" from any of this discussion as it does not apply at all.


All species of fish and animals in KY are protected by the KDFWR. KDFWR's job is to protect all fish and animals.

The only reason we get to catch or kill any fish or animals is because KDFWR allows us to.


These folks with the shop are guilty. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

the kdfwr "REGULATES" and OVERSEES fish, wildlife game and non-game species in the state of kentucky.....
you, me and everybody that purchases hunting and fishing licenses, stamps and tags pay their salary....they are public servants.....they dont ALLOW us to catch or kill anything.....they ensure the limits set forth by LAWMAKERS , who by the way also work for us , are observed and followed.

additionally, i believe the word "endangered" has already been removed in an earlier post......i think it was worded "correction noted"

i agree they broke the letter of the law.....but i disagree with the "scorched earth" policy that seems to be enforced on the folks......UNLESS as i stated before there is MORE to this story???
