I was given a traffic warning for illegal U-turn by a local Sheriff and followed and questioned throughout the night on Hwy. 277. Even though I had zero collecting equipment(only lights and a camera) and had told the Sheriff I was not collecting, he still wasted alot of my time. This detracted alot from the peaceful experience I seek when herping. I know of a few people with similar experiences.
I am not sure I understand your point but you seem to be saying that since it is still fairly easy to get away with breaking the new law, nothing has really changed.
I would disagree. Even if there is not alot of manpower at the moment to enforce this law, there is still that shadow hanging over the heads of those who choose to break it. As with any crime, most will not get caught unless they continually do it. Those who do may face serious consequences.
