Open fields in Idaho, SB 1326

[IDiot]

SB 1326 would require conservation officers to get a warrant or permission prior to entering open fields that are privately owned. This only applies to conservation officers and does not apply to city, county or state law enforcement despite all law enforcement officers passing the same training and standards.

This would make it very difficult to enforce wildlife laws on private land. Poaching on private land will get a lot easier if this passes.

if they have information that's worth checking out shouldn't be to hard for them to get a warrant it would seem. I'm not sure I am onboard with you here. I'll admit to not having all the information, but it is obviously a topic as it has popped up on my YouTube algorithm a couple times now

I'm not sure why Idaho would pass legislation contradicting already decided twice by SCOTUS.

Because farmers, ranchers and scary government boogie men are in charge of our legislature. So happy we don’t have any real issues here they could be spending time and tax money on
