Problem is even the republicans in our state legislature claim to be in favor of local government but then consistently pass laws as the state telling counties and cities what to do.

Definitions look like it exempts game wardens

state or a political subdivision of this state that employs peace
officers other than game wardens.

Agreed

The origins of this new law involves a very good friend of mine, one of the officers that was indicted. He was an exemplary officer, but what made this particular case so bad was the fact it happened in Travis ago where the DA saw nothing but a badge to lock up.

A little insight into why this new law may have come about, the producer of the Live PD deleted the video so it could never be show.Lennon TV again. That’s great, but that was evidence, very good evidence. To make matters worse, the Sheriff of Williamson Co did not help in the investigation by Travis Co, kind of an on going pissing match, the more he hindered the investigation the more Travis Co wanted those officer indicted.

No sir. There is a miscommunication here. I never said it was ok, I just said it's not that simple. I understand these guys running, if in their shoes, I'd run too. What happens once they're caught is OK with me too, I leave that to the officer that does that for a living, it's his/her life that is in danger, not mine. If it was as simple as following directions, officers would need jackets, pistols, or radios. tlk, just because I understand something doesn't mean I approve or behave that way.

It did not come across that way when I read it - no worries

Good deal!

I like the show and I have been field checked by a LSL Game Warden (just recently). She mentoring new GW that was with her. The encounter was pretty much like what I see on LSL when a field check has no issues. Very professional. The wardens then went over to my truck and spent a few minutes visiting with my wife and me. All personal chat, like our kids and stuff. Very nice visit.

That said, this exception in the law can be challenged pretty easily. Game Wardens are also State Police, and this isn't excepted.

Williamson County, come on vacation, leave on probation used to be the motto. Much better than Travis County, theirs is..........uh whatever man.

yeah I will take Williamson County over Travis county everyday of the week

Maybe they should show McLennan county game wardens driving his truck around feeder pens at 0930 on opening day because he heard gun shots for an episode

Or

Maybe an episode of the same GW calling someone on a cell phone because he heard gunshots

Keep up the good work <6’

Show is pretty boring after a year

All those shows suck from the first 30 seconds....Jes my

Never understood the appeal of ANY “reality” tv show. Regular programming became so left agendas driven I ripped the crap out of the house four months ago. Miss zero of it.

I watched a couple hunting shows....Meat Eater is one. He’s a lib...but cares about the resources and keeping the focus from the harvest in the field to the dinner table. Doesn’t hide mistakes.

ThT and old movies was about all I ever watched....I now do that online

I always enjoyed the show, for the most part. It did always bug me that commercial fishermen knowingly flouting the laws were cut loose with minimal citations and/or fines while every day hunters/fishermen making fairly innocent mistakes in the field got raked over the coals. And it seemed like if you wanted to get out of a no license ticket on the show all you had to do was claim you couldn't speak english.
