Your rights are the same anywhere, not just at roadblocks.
They cannot search your vehicle without permission or probable cause.
All you need to produce is a DL, registration and insurance.
Unless you have illegal drugs, guns or open alcohol then there is not likely to be probable cause.
You do not have to answer any questions or say a word. And you may video or otherwise record the entire event. No one can stop you from filming and recording.

Wow now. How's a gun probable cause?

It’s not.

Guns are evil. Didn't you know?

What stops the LEOs or GWs from "creating" probable cause? They can make sheeet up just like anyone else.

Remember that if you are hunting, any place that game may be stored is subject to be searched. Someone that works with that will have to explain it better, but I know that is how it works.

Nothing. But usually LEOs that have those kind of reputations get caught stealing broad heads at Bass Pro Shop.

A little thing called ethics and respect for a persons civil rights. Not all LEOs have these, but most do.

That's right. What is to keep them from planting a dead deer in the back of my truck when i'm not looking. One talks to me while his buddy sets me up?

In the escaped convict situation it's probably still a good idea not to allow a search. They will do it anyway, but if you had something back there I don't think they can get you for it in court anyway

But the key is "if you are hunting."

How you can say that when they ask you questions that should never be asked in a typical "game check block"? People are being searched for no reason cuz they are being threatened of jail time or tickets.

I understand you can say no to this but people agree to it to avoid paying fines or going to jail over this. Yea they may be wrong but it's probably cheaper in the long run for the average Joe to adhere to it than pay a lawyer later to fight something you should never be fighting in the first place.

I know I'm one weird SOB. You can threaten me with snakes and electricity and get my attention but you ain't getting my attention threatening me with jail time and tickets. But people are different.

Which people? Who has posted where that has happened? Who has gone through a road block and was arrested for not agreeing to a search by Game and fish?

I had a city police officer telll me he was going to put me in jail one night over some BS deal. I held my arms out and told him to quit talking and take me in. He declined.

I may have taken it to a stretch but the LEOs and/or GWs are putting people in positions they shouldn't be in. You shouldn't have to know the law to protect yourself from the situations that should never be happening in the first place. That's an ethical issue from the very first wrong or improper question asked.

Thats the catch 22 of course Im going to have a hunting rifle / rifles in the back seat and coolers therefore is it probable cause for a GW to check inside coolers at a roadblock...??? Folks quarter up a deer.

I understand less talking is better but if asked would it be best to state that I do not have any game animals in vehicle and to that extent I do not consent to examination of coolers contents???

In the field in Georgia we literally had some young feds throwing our underwear and cloths in the mud as they tore apart our hunting bags looking for potential STASHED DUCKS... we had packed for 4 day hunt.

It's the fear of it. Maybe not arrested but ticketed or the fear that you have done something wrong when you haven't. Guess I didn't say that right.

It's an emotional reaction to the thread that has now started to build on hypothetical situations. There is no indication other than someone that said G&F were doing a roadblock. Now it has expanded to people are being arrested and rights are being violated. If you don't have a pen you are going to prison etc.

I do find it ironic that folks want to talk about rights and not talking to LEOs but want to know the number to Game and Fish because their neighbor has corn out or they heard Jim Bob has shot the big buck they had on camera and Game and fish wont do anything.
