I game warden also has the right to enter your house with no warrant and go check your freezer. They are the only law enforcement agency with that authority.

The DEA works with them sometimes (or they used to) because they can walk right in the house and say Hey! there's drugs and presto you have your probable cause. True story.

Moral of the story is, just do what the Game Warden says and dont be a cowboy. They won't be impressed, I assure you.

Wrong. They have to have some justification for entering your house. No court in history would accept a game warden walking into a house with DEA just happening to be tagging along! Where do y'all get this bullcorn?

The reason for the county us to find out if this happened for real.

Back in the day the GWs were sometimes used for searches but they still had a reason for entering the house in the first place. Still their use had to many questions and in court it was to big a hassle so that practice was stopped for using them to get probable cause for a drug search.

Anyways there has to be more to this story. After everyone who has read this doesnt have a home depot search story by a GW I think that itvwas not justva random check if I happened at all

When I was a NCO in the Army, I could have legally asked every Private to Specialist I saw to drop and give me 20 (Pushups).....but, I didn't.....because I am not an A$%........

There are good reasons for GW's and all Law Officers....they just need to do their jobs with some common sense.

It's in the Geneva Convention

Who ever siad they don't have to follow the law? Everyone has to follow the law. All I was saying is that Game Warden's have farther reching authority than other LEOs and that is true. They have full jurisdiction over state, local, and federal sectors. No other LEO has that. They have the right to search for and seize an illegal wildlife resource without a warrant if they suspect such illegal activity is occuring. If they find something else illegal in the process they are allowed to seize it as well. It is written right there in the state of Texas statute. Read it. Of course nothing makes anyone immune to the 4th ammemdment and they have to follow probable cause and be able to prove in a court of law that their actions were justified.

Maybe some of you thought I meant they can just walk up to your door all gung ho in the middle of the night and kick your door down while you sleep and go to rumaging through your property. To make this misunderstanding is just ludacris.

Laws are laws and everyone has to follow them. There is a difference between a right, an authority, and good judgement.

I don't know why people disagree with this. It is written plainly in the statute.
