I have been watch game warden show out of boredom. They stop anybody and ask for licenses etc

It is basically stop and frisk.


It's no different than requiring a driver's license on the street. A cop can ask for that when he pulls you over.

But he needs reason to pull you over

Only if he can articulate what crime it is he is investigating and has reasonable suspicion of a crime. Not a very high bar but game wardens are not limited by that, apparently, because fishing is not a crime and they have no reasonable suspicion to suspect everyone of committing a crime yet they will always ask everyone for a license, and usually a drivers license to prove residency.
