Re: Sustenance hunt?????
CO's won't do anything, RCMP won't do anything,
Thread after thread the rcmp and co's get bashed for not doing anything.....theres a reason for that.
In most instances, like the shooting of elk on private property thread from a while back....the native tresspassers/poachers stayed on scene waiting for the authorities to arrive. why you may ask? Because they WANT TO BE CHARGED!!!!
Many are purposely flaunting the law and pushing boundaries in an effort to get it before the courts. In the example of trespass hunting...they can lose that one in court 100 times....they only have to win once and its then law and removes the shackles from any who might have been holding back because they just werent sure if they would get in trouble.
How do you think it became legal for the FN to pitlamp? It went to court and they won
The authorities do not charge the FN for infractions, because the lesser of 2 evils is to hope some believe it is wrong and illegal and therefore don't do it, rather than to have it legally sanctioned by the courts and open the floodgates.
The RCMP and CO's are making the less shitty choice in an impossible, no win situation.
