Can Government Place Game Cameras On YOUR Land? Yep

Want to buy that beautiful ranch in Wyoming? Another legal aspect to consider.

@Fizbin You hear about this? I imagine a couple of ā€œerrantā€ rounds would solve the situation (but don’t do that).

I liked the suggestion of loading up geriatric porn on the sim card. Why not load up pictures of sasquatch or dinosaurs? No make that aliens…

Camera’s can go missing?! Cattle and other animals can rub them right off.

LOL! Don’t know about a sasquatch, but there’d definitely be quite a few of a random buck-naked hairless ape on there. :joy::joy::joy:

Back to our regular programming now. It amazes me that a state or federal employee can sneak onto your property at night and set-up a game camera. Seems like pure and simple trespass.

A friend of mine has property adjoining state land and the DNR had set up a decoy to catch people road hunting. You can’t do that in Michigan.
Anyway, he shot it all legal like from the backside of the property adjoining his, not from the road. But boy were they pissed at him!!!
It’s been almost 20 years and he still gets crap for that one regularly during hunting season. It usually starts with someone doing a very rythematic, robotic, head bob and saying something like…Hey … do I look like a real buck???

Without much research I would suggest government or game wardens can do that.

However, if it helpeded catch illegal hunters on my land then in for it.

I can understand working with game management to track herd sizes and catching poachers. Working together with landowners, not sneaking around the landowners back.

That is not what these cameras are being used for. They are specifically used to spy on the landowners. Apparently they can place the cameras anywhere on your land, just not inside your home (that we know of).

@Dave17, aww crud!

Well I hope they get a load off on me HUNTING :rofl::joy::sweat_smile::joy:

But in all seriousness this is not cool. Why would they use these powers to invade my privacy?

Funny how the ā€œNo Trespassingā€ signs only work in one direction. I trespass on state or federal land, I go to jail…they trespass on private property, they give each other high fives and knuckle bumps.

Nothing that can’t be taken care of with a ghillie suit and duct tape.

So when did we become wildlife?

It seems, the Constitution is already so far removed, it matters not.

Under FDR, the Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), the Supreme Court expanded the power of government by stretching the Commerce Clause until it screamed in agony…
A farmer grew wheat for his own use on his own land… and is not involved in interstate commerce… however the court found that because his wheat he grew allowed him to NOT purchase wheat on the market… which meant he was NOT participating in interstate commerce… they found the government can regulate him and his private property… because he was NOT participating in interstate commerce…

And we think we still have rights and freedom and liberty?

If the government can come on property… especially if posted with ā€˜No Trespassing’ signs, without a warrant… do we truly own the property, do we have property rights… which was one of the most important issues to the founders… the right to our property, to purchase or obtain property… And, if we own it, and the government taxes us for it… how do they come close to deciding they have a right to cross our property line to put any recording device… or for any purpose…on our land.

Remember it is a leftist idea that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter. When the court overrides the legislatures, overrides the people, we have a tyranny of black robed individuals.

I find a camera on my property, it will vanish. If anyone arrives… they will have a warrant or they will not enter. They must be held to the Constitution and the law… or there is none.

They may find they step on the wrong land…
