We have laws/regulations in place in the state of Texas for possession of aggregate species of reptiles. There is a fee and a permit in place for this issue already. We have laws in place for the collection of species that are endangered already. We have laws in place that allow for PROPER SEARCH AND SEIZURE. In order to justify paying for herp management don’t you think we might need density and population numbers of the herps in our state? Should we not have some type of management plan in place?
I used to manage ranches for whitetail deer we did not charge people to come in and hunt without a management plan and herd studies in place! The fact is the Nazi Storm Trooper know nothing about the animals that they have been charged with protecting. The grab on your money by them is no more than taxation without representation. They charge you fees without providing service.
TP&W and the Border Patrol have been working together in Terrel County for years, a police state action to say the least. For no more than to be a thorn in your side for driving down the road. I haven’t keep a snake that i have found in 10 years, I take their pic and let them crawl off, but yet I’m harassed for this action. I have been told that I cannot use artificial lighting to take a pic, that is the most ludicrous crap I have heard of. Others have been told that if they take a snakes picture or even a deer’s picture and you cause the animal to change direction of their movement you are in violation of the law????????
No doubt we have to have laws and regulations of some sort in place to be a society with order, but when it stretches as far as some laws have, we become a society of criminals with no freedom or liberty. We become slaves of the government. No government should have the ability to walk in your house or your property without a warrant, no agency should have right to confiscate your property without a court order, yet TP&W have done that. When told they were on private property and they should leave they stay and become confrontational by yelling and shaking their finger inches from your face.
Why not follow the constitution, why not make the government servants to the people. It is a great system, a system that does work. It’s a little broke right now but if people did march to Austin in a show of force it would get attention. People have become too dependent on the government. Ron Paul has great bill pending, basically no law can be placed upon the people that is not also enforceable upon the bureaucrats. The idea that the government can spy on people and do not follow the constitution or supreme court rulings is nuts.
I agree that money spent on herp hunting should be marked for further research of herps. The problem is that money raised by the Nazi Storm Troopers or other agencies has become taxing revenue. The state of Texas knows nothing about the wildlife of the state, hell Kerr Wildlife management cannot even get the simplest deer studies correct. Why, because if they came up with definitive answers their funding would be cut, yet universities, private land owners, ranchers, etc have done proper research and do have the answers. TP&W is so broke I do not believe it can be fixed, nor will it be fixed. It has become such a revenue generating and power stealing agency that Austin would never want to fix it.
Why must you be inspected and spied upon, this presumes everyone is guilty of something, this presumes by the government you are a criminal. There used to be an old saying, you are innocent till proven guilty, can that be said now in today’s society???????
These laws are written to give the power to the agencies and take it from the citizens, by being charged with additional law enforcement these agencies must grow, they need more money and more officers to enforce these laws. It is a vicious cycle that appears to not be able to be changed. I’m self employed and the best I can figure is I pay about 55 percent in taxes, I work over 1/2 of the year to pay someone to allow me to do every day activities that a truly free man can do. I rent my freedoms from the government. I have an outline of how things could be fixed but the government and the sheepish people of this country would never allow it to happen, nor would agencies like tp&w or the IRS. To many people are afraid to have control of their life and the chance for failure. To many times when something goes wrong there is a knee jerk reaction and someone cries there should be a law about this. Yet our laws are so far reaching that in many cases there are 2, 3, 4 laws for the same offence. A good example is the hate crimes bill, if you kill someone and you receive the death penalty for murder, does it matter if you did it out of hate towards some ethnicity? You cant double execute someone for murder can you? This law is no more than a racial bill enforced on white citizens.
