Louisiana Law' premiers Sunday Animal Planet

I love Lone Star Law
follows tradition of Animal Planet's 'North Woods Law,' 'Lone Star Law"
Fans of Animal Planet's "North Woods Law" and "Lone Star Star Law" shows have a new option starting Sunday that features people and events closer to home.
"Louisiana Law" premiers at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 9, featuring agents from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
The show was filmed over the past year, Robert L. “Trey’’ Iles of LDWF told The Acadiana Advocate on Friday.
Viewers from all over the state may recognize people and places featured in the first episode, including Scott Dupre and Senior Agent William Carpenter with the the Region 6 LDWF office in Thibodaux; Cpl. Michael Hebert with the Region 5 office in Lake Charles; Senior Agent Emily Sexton and Cpl. Justin Greer with the Region 1 office in Minden; and Cpl. Blaine Wagner and Senior Agent Austin Landry of the Region 8 office in New Orleans.
In Sunday's episode, Animal Planet viewers can follow Dupre and Carpenter in St. Mary Parish as they investigate a crab fisherman allegedly stealing traps belonging to other fishermen and as they rescue an injured eagle on the side of the road, while in Cameron Parish, Hebert seizes an illegally caught flounder that is donated to a family in need.
To the north in Bossier Parish, Sexton and Greer "face a tough dilemma when a young hunter’s first deer is brought illegally across state lines by his father," according to a LDWF news release.
Meanwhile, Wagner and Landry, patrolling off the coast of St. Bernard Parish, encounter a captain with a full boat of oysters and no proper licenses.

Can't wait to see the one where they have to measure 100 pencil trout to see if they are legal

After one episode, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Being a game warden in Sough Louisiana is harder than being one in North Louisiana. The different kinds of fishing licenses alone makes it a harder job. Plus the amount of water to cover. We've got lots of lakes and a few rivers, but South Louisiana has the gulf, and swamps. I think there are probably more ways for the perps to get away also, especially if the GW isn't from down there. I bet there are still isolated areas where country people don't think any LEO's should be on there land. Can't really think of too many places like that left up here.
Is this as easy an assumption to make as I think it is? Do they get paid more to have to keep up with more?

No, the trade off is in October when the invasion hits NELA.

I watched it last night. I thought it was pretty good. I feel like some of the interactions would have went different if the cameras weren't there. I bet that man would have been able to keep that flounder and the couple of mix ups with the tagged deer would have probably just been a warning. But with the cameras there i guess they have to follow the law.
Side note i wonder why that one GW didn't tell the guy with the flounder that he didn't have to go to the store to buy a license, he could have just went on the website and get one.
Also I could see the hurt in that female GW eyes when she thought she was going to have to take that lil mans deer. That was awesome of them to follow them back to Arkansas just so they could keep the deer.

Watched it last night and thought it was pretty good as well. Hopefully it doesn't become staged in a couple more episodes...

Was the boat captain, stealing other peoples' crabs, the only guy that was a criminal?
It felt like a couple of others knew they hadn't done everything they needed to, but it was more laziness or them just being in a hurry, not wanting to "waste" time following the correct procedures.
I think the guy in Cameron Parish, with the flounder, was just in a hurry to get out there to fish. From the discussion on air, he'd gotten one and fished a week before. Must have caught a bunch, and wanted to get back out there.
The guy, in DeSoto Parish, who'd killed a deer the week before, but not finished the paper work/online form, seemed to know he was in the wrong. I think he was lazy or forgetful.
The guy who brought his son's deer from Arkansas to Louisiana had to know better, but was probably wanting to get home and let his son show off the deer. He was very lucky they didn't take the deer.
At the end, when they flashed up what happened with each case, they just showed the captain, with no license, paid a $400 fine. He knew he needed the harvesting document, but was probably taking shortcuts to save money. If he got away with it for 10 years, and the $400 fine is his only penalty, it may have been worth it.
I missed what happened to the thief who was stealing other peoples' shrimp. I hope he has to do time, or pay $1K or more. If he's ever done anything else like that, deny him a license for three or four years.
Beauregarddailynews.net has an article about the premiere.

In the premiere episode of LOUISIANA LAW, audiences meet the courageous wildlife agents who patrol this rich, diverse state. Sgt. Scott Dupre and Senior Agent William Carpenter track down and investigate a crab fisherman allegedly stealing hundreds of traps belonging to other fishermen in the southern waters of St. Mary Parish. Sgt. Dupre and Senior Agent William Carpenter rescue an injured eagle on the side of the road, while in Cameron Parish, Cpl. Michael Hebert seizes an illegally caught flounder and donates the fish to a family in need. In Bossier Parish, Sr. Agent Emily Sexton and Cpl. Justin Greer face a tough dilemma when a young hunter’s first deer is brought illegally across state lines by his father. And Cpl. Blaine Wagner and Sr. Agent Austin Landry are on oyster patrol off the southern coast of St. Bernard Parish, where they encounter a Captain that has a full boat of oysters with no proper licenses; the situation escalates when they suspect the captain of driving under the influence.

Nah I didn't mean it that way. Everyone that were doing wrong or didn't have a license were diffidently in the wrong. In my experiences with the GW, they have been pretty understanding and easy going.
The guy stealing other peoples crab traps was totally in the wrong, and he lied about it.
The oyster guy was totally in the wrong, and was lucky he didn't go to jail. I thought he got fined more than $400 but i could be wrong.
I found in the other situations everyone told the truth and were pretty much pleasant. (probably because the cameras were there).
I've found most of the time if you own up to what you've done and are somewhat pleasant most GW are pretty easy going and most of the time will let you off with a warning for minor things. Like the guy with the flounder, IMO if the GW would have said, "do me a favor and go on the website right now and buy a license", I would have felt that to be reasonable. I've had this happen to me before. But maybe I'm being to lenient.
All in all I think its a great show and look forward to more episodes.

My bad.
I changed it.
quote:I agree. The hunters, and the guy who caught the flounder, were all honest with the GW's.

The people who were making a living by fishing were the worst characters in the premiere.

Nope, i worked iberia parish in the 90's and we all got paid the same across geographic locations.
And the first kid whose dad brought the deer across from Arkansas....the old boys I worked with back then would have absolutely seized that kids deer!
There was one guy who would check hunters with kids who had full limits, and the first thing he would do is separate the kid and ask him how many he actually caught/killed and then write up the dad if the dad killed some of the kids limit.

That’s a great way to make decent people hate Game Wardens.
