[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 144178, member: 1773"] Generating revenue and making a statement. Thats all they were doing. They should have nailed them when they first saw the violation. Most states have forfeiture statutes that allow the seizure of property in the commission of a felony. It used to only apply to drug or violent crimes but that changed about 10 years ago. Now LEOs can seize any property used in the commission of any felony. What these investigators did was give them plenty of time to rack up enough violations to warrant a seizure. And in doing so they have sent a message to all who might "tempt" fate when it comes to bag limits. So what was accomplished with this? They have re-enforced the level of awareness regarding bag limits. Generated some income. And made every angler in he region think that all their enforcement officials are a bunch of pricks. I hate to hear stories like this. No real good ever comes from it. [/QUOTE]
