They have the exact same authority as a state trooper.

Exactly. They also don't need a warrant to search your vehicle.

Actually, they have more. They can do a lot more without a warrant than LSP.

I maybe mistaken but LDWF can come into your home or vehicle without a search warrant...where as other agencies have to aquire a search warrant

Unfortunately, like a State Trooper, they also generally ride solo, which puts them at considerable risk anytime they make a stop. Backup is not always immediate.

And in some States, they have more power than State or Local police.
I know the Florida Water Agents have ALL power. They can do anything as far as using their police powers.
