I guess my true issue is with the laws themselves and how they leave so much gray area. The officer did not lie in court, he said he observed me from a crossing 300 yards away, he stated that "he was moving slowly down the railroad track wearing hunter orange with a rifle on his shoulder". The officer also stated in court that I would have received the ticket even if I had been carrying a bow and arrows. All of which is true. You are required to wear orange on WMA's on hunt days and I am 70% crippled so I do not move real fast. Even if in the judge and prosecutor opinion I was wrong, taking my hunting rights for a year is supposedly reserved for a second offense. I feel I was punished excessively for arguing what I felt was right in a good ol boy courtroom.
