Warrantless Searches & Inspections

[Peregrinus]

Past President and Legal Liason of The American Falconry Conservancy, Bill Murrin, has written what is essentially a legal brief on the power of the Fish & Wildlife Service, or any state Fish & Game Deptartment, to inspect and search. Anyone who feels they have been victim to what constitutes a 'warantless search' should read it, (it is long, and well worth your attention), and hand it straightaway to counsel, because it could form the basis of a defense.
Others may wish to read it, as it provides the legal reasoning whereby the AFC asserts falconers' rights as they pertain to inspections and searches. All of it is, of course, premised upon the idea that our birds, once legally harvested or purchased, are in fact private property, as George Allen and others have recently acknowledged.

Thankyou for posting this Bridget.

I have to confess, that I haven't read all the way through it yet, but what I have looks great so far.

Back to the couch. Wince wince.

It occurs to me that the formatting is enough to make your eyes bleed. If anyone would like this as a word document, please PM me with your email address, and I will happily send it in a readable form.

And yeah, all of that legalese is enough to make anyone wince. Ya just don't wanna kick start bikes after reading it.

Thanks for the kind offer however, I was able to copy the whole thing and open it up and adjust the print size in Microsoft Word.

Yep, all that legalese does make for a sterile read. Don't worry, I won't be kick starting any bikes. The only kicking I'm gonna do this weekend is around the house.

Again, thanks for posting this.

Rich,

no problem. As soon as I hear from her I will hook it up

How far away is Murrin from you ?

Chris-

It is done. A downloadable file will make for easier reading, though I admire the tenacity of anyone who may have slogged through it in that format.
