Does the 4th amendment break down when

[Nathan Hale]

Hi folks! I am sure almost all the guys here know that cops cant just search your car and home etc without a warrant.... I was told recently by a gun store owner that a game commission officer can just go ahead and check your vehicle even with out a warrant. Is this really the case? He said that if there is a suspicion of "poaching" you dont need a warrant to search ANYBODY'S car. Is this really true. Does the 4th amendment break down when it comes to enforcing poaching laws?

I have a better question: is there any situation left in the USA where the 4th amendment DOES apply?

Hi folks! I am sure almost all the guys here know that cops cant just search your car and home etc without a warrant Or an exigent circumstance ....

Knowledge is power... familiarize yourself with these exigent circumstances if you have not already done so.

Steel City is right. Learn the rules and how they apply. Use your internet google-fung and search the exact words of the phrase he supplied.

Or spend some dime and talk to an attorney to know exactly how the 4th Amendment is interpreted in those situations.

The only way you can exercise that right is the same way they take it from you.

Can you make a post or some sort of list of how it apply's to Pa residents? I would rather read YOUR "unofficial" version than some crap on the internet from a dubious source. I call yours "unofficial" because I don't want people holding YOU liable as you are a cop and it could be misconstrued as legal advice. Lol

In answer to your question, yes, as I understand it, the game commission for some reason can do that. My opinion is that really needs to change

I cannot remember all the details, but there was a case a few years ago where the police used the a GC officer to gain access to a property because the police couldn't/wouldn't get a warrant.
