I always pick remote areas and usually herp at night so I have never run into either of those, but maybe california is more laxed.

I've never received any kind of ticket or warning from an officer for doing this. I've slept in my car along some of the highways out west and have had troopers come and tell me I wasnt in a safe area and needed to move, but thats the extent of it. However Houston actually just passed a law making it illegal to park your car on the side of the highway and leave it unattended. Not really much a problem for me since there arent many places to herp around here anymore.

Never.
Me and a buddy did get pulled over at Bagdad once for "driving back and forth too many times." According to the friendly county sheriffs "all snake hunters are druggers" and we were sure to have drugs in the car. So they waisted 45 minutes of prime (10:00-10:45) herping time going through our rental car. They seemed almost genuinely surprised not to find a suitcase full od PCP or something.
