If TWRA wants to mount a camera they better let me know or they may lose them, and I will also submit a bill for cleaning up the litter.  I like to plink on my land, I shoot at things that stand out and do not belong to me. 

Did you read how removing the cameras worked out for the gentleman profiled in the article?

Here is the thing, IMO, if they suspected they were breaking the law, which apparently they were, then they should have requested a court order to place the cameras, just like a wire tap.  I'm of the opinion that game wardens should have the same restrictions as regular LEO, if they want the powers, then the restrictions come with it.  

This!!

Previous law breaker or not, this is a clear violation of the 4th amendment.

Who hasn't had a bunch of cops show up on their front porch?

What cameras officer?  Did you leave cameras on my property?? Whodathunkit!

Those guys had other crimes to answer for, the cameras were just a tack-on charge.  And I wouldn't take trash home.

I'll be honest. They would not enjoy the photos that they received on their phones. All manner of deviant activities would be going on. You ever seen a middle aged man running naked in a field? It isn't pretty!
