Road Block outside boston bar

[shoot to kill]

Anyone else go through this game check today? Ive never been through one that big, there was probably 12 CO trucks and an RCMP...they chased a guy down in an older mercedes and had him handcuffed...the CO checking us said they were issuing lots of tickets. we were up fishing so he checked all of our gear and coolers, and when he couldnt find anything told my buddy he couldnt have a case of unopened beer in my back seat? like thats his job anyways...

[Fisher-Dude]

Yes, that's his job.

[curt]

If it isnt wildlife related they have very little power to do anything that is why they accompany a RCMP on those big road blocks, and often have one with them in the field the few times i've seen the CO's an RCMP member was with them.

[Deer_Slayer]

well he is wrong. you can have an unopened case of beer in your truck. last time I checked that is how they are sold from the liquor store?

there is a law that states, in a car any and all alcohol must be transported in the trunk and for a truck it must be in the box. but most if not all cops don't care if it's in the backseat

[The Dawg]

The law states that it has to be out of reach.

[Rainsford]

I was always under the impression that alcohol has to be out of reach from anyone in the vehicle.

[bad dog]

was told the cos have the same as the rcmp as for tickets ,, ex.., safty chains on a traler buddy got a ticket for ,, and if that was all boston bar had you should have been at Vandrhoof last week ,,,dot scales rcmp forsesty cos , and lots of them checking every thing ,, even vechicle inspections

[Drillbit]

Where do you haul your beer if you have a regular cab flatdeck? Or a Blazer/Bronco/Ramcharger.

As far as game checks go, no problem from me, that's what they're getting the big $$$ for!

I have had a casual glimpse at the Police Act and to be honest, cannot find any reference to Conservation OFficers. However, I was told some time ago that Conservation Officers are covered under the Police Act as Special Constables and have the same powers as a provincial or municipal force. This would mean he probably could issue a citation for alcohol related offences. The person that I was speaking to, which incidently was a slow day at a road block, said that it was difficult for them to gather evidence outside of wildlife offences, so they opt to have the RCMP in attendence when having a road block.

COs have full Provincial Police powers.

I was at an Emergency Responce Seminar a few years ago and during a presentation from the Ministry of Environment they said that a Conservation Officer in BC has all of the enforcement powers of the police except for narcotics .That is why you see RCMP at the road checks

[Weatherby Fan]

A friend of mine is a Fisheries Officer in Lilloett and at least once a year he is recruited for a major game check,
He says they will have RCMP,COs and Fisheries so they have all their bases covered and not using all the COs manpower in one place since they're so understaffed.

I remember that game check years ago in Cache Creek, haven't seen one in years...

[The Dude]

We have 12 COs?
Who knew?

[walks with deer]

I went through one at boston bar years back and only had 3 roughed grouse wings on and it was a young co I was dealing with and he made me wait for a bird identifier.
They also had me blow the brethalizer because the box of my truck had somany empties.
Lol they were all old cans I just said I don't litter however know I make sure there bagged.

[Kid Hunter]

I did see that! Well they were just setting up when we were driving through. There were about 5 trucks when we drove through, they were just setting up cones and we saw a few more trucks heading that way when we were past it. Would have been a little scary if they stopped us, I cancelled a mule tag for a buck I shot but my dad had 'misplaced' his license so there would have been some trouble with that, since I'm still under 19, at least until they found it buried in the glove box hahah
