Tell me about your worst (or best) game warden interaction.

Here's mine:

My mother and her ex-husband had went out to the Tuckasegee river in Cullowhee, NC to do some fishing. They were on a friend's property, just feet from the river.

They had some brand-new, unassembled poles and live bait sitting on the ground next to them, but had not yet begun to fish when a game warden strolled up (on private property!) and asked for their fishing licenses. Neither of them had one, but believed that being on private property allowed them to fish without.

This a**hole proceeds to write them both tickets, but they argued with him, saying "look, we haven't assembled the poles!" The arguing continued for a bit and then he arrested them both. I had to go meet them at the magistrate's office and sign for their release.

Later in court, the game warden lied and said they had their poles in the water. Luckily for my mother and her ex, their friend had several cameras on the property and he had brought the footage to the hearing.

My mother's lawyer asked the GW "So, they had lines in the water with bait?" And the GW says yes. That's when the lawyer said "Well, we have the home security footage from the entire day, and it seems to contradict that..."

The GW and the judge were both blown away. Finally, the judge charged the GW with perjury and contempt and several other minor charges pertaining to civil servants. Plus, he lost his job, my mother and her ex's charges were dropped, and then the court made that GW compensate them financially for the loss of time, work, etc...

YOUR TURN!
