“The game wardens think they have unlimited power to invade private land under an old Supreme Court rule called the “open fields doctrine.” The rule says that the U.S. Constitution’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures do not extend to land outside the immediate area around a home. But the wardens are ignoring that the Louisiana Constitution is different—it protects all “property” from warrantless searches” – Institute For Justice “There were no cameras, no ATVs. Private land owners have the ability to surveil their own properties and call for wildlife officers if they need their help. That’s why 5 officers raiding CJ Alexander’s home is so offensive to me. All because a prosecutor has a brother with a trail cam photo of a deer that was harvested, and CJ didn’t act like a television hunter or a social media hunter. These things have to change”
