Open fields doctrine is being challenged in Louisiana

There have been cases where green jeans has entered land a placed cameras and stolen private cameras. (Not just green jeans and Wophead Dolly either.)

Tom Manuel is a forester who owns timberland in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. First and foremost, the land is part of his private forestry business/tree farm. Similar to most non-industrial, private forest owners, Tom also manages the property for wildlife conservation, recreation, and multiple other uses as well.
But Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) game wardens have other ideas in mind. Twice in December 2023, they entered Tom’s land without consent, a warrant, or probable cause and confronted first him and then his brother. They were interrogated but both were complying with hunting laws and neither was given a citation.

Good watch. thanks for posting. We need to get back to curtailing government authority and building privacy again.

With onXhunts there is absolutely no excuse why anybody, gooberment or otherwise, cannot contact the landowner. Trespassing is trespassing.
Game Wardens have a tough job, they don’t need to make it tougher on themselves….. just saying.

Looks like Tom made the list in 2019. Once you’re on the list, they will harass the f out of you at least for a few years.

Open fields doctrine
Should be officially dubbed the Wophead Dolly Doctrine
I still don't understand how constitutional law doesn't override this "doctrine" or authority given to game wardens. As stated in this thread, trespassing is trespassing, and the 4th amendment is the 4th amendment. The fact that more green jeans don't find themselves at gunpoint while doing this is striking.

It's because they interpret the ruling incorrectly intentionally. It's the basis of all their authority. Open fields was intended to give them authority to investigate when they can observe hunting taking place in an "open field" where privacy is not reasonably expected. They interpret it as long as they suspect hunting is going on the can enter a property because you shouldn't expect privacy on a piece land.
I think Alabama challenged and won. Really hope Tom wins. It's government overreach and intimidation.

As few game wardens as we have in Louisiana, they should be using them to harass land owners. They should have their hands full taking care of other issues. Land owners have a tendency to take care of their property and to hunt in a manner which will grow wildlife populations.
But, I know they like to act like power hungry morons from time to time.

Respectfully, that’s an awful broad brush to paint with. If we’re talking tendencies, game wardens have a tendency not to focus their efforts on private landowners. Sometimes they need to.

Maybe that's what it will take...These guys can just as easily sit by the gate and wait for someone to leave if they want to check them. Or they can even wait at your house for you to drive up.

This happened to me because there was a protein feeder in the opposite corner of a 300 acre field..
Hunting over bait is subjective as shite..

He's pro-Constitution so, in the eyes of the DOJ, a domestic terrorist.

I’m a flag waving, gun toting red blooded American, and I love my country, but I’ve gotten where I despise 95% of law enforcement.
