Sounds like he's related to my neighbor with the infinite acre because "we never saw the people who lived in your house before you."

Twra has lost its usefulness. They've mismanaged the turkey flock so badly that it's hard to believe it wasn't intentional. They took what was world class hunting and turned it mediocre at best.
The fisheries management and especially cold water management is atrocious. Hell one of their main trout guys can't even identify trout species. Their mismanagement of the Clinch has rendered it a shell of what it used to be, and they're doing nothing to improve it.

I whole heartedly disagree with the approach to CWD.
But I think most of TWRA is well intentioned and generally ok.
Tough to balance keeping people happy

If they want to act like law enforcement they need to follow the laws for law enforcement - period. I hope they lose the appeal.
man that would suck if you saw a pigeon or other bird open year round and shot at it and accidentally hit the drone...

I totally support the twra but they should follow the same laws as other law enforcement agencies. If they fly drones over my property looking for piles of corn or other violations, I could care less. They might not like seeing my fat backside running through the woods in my favorite leopard speedo.

I'm a supporter of the agency. I've certainly had my serious beefs with their deer management rules (and still do), but I support the agency as a whole. Now if I find cameras placed on my property without my consent, that would be a new ballgame.

TWRA isn't "stirring the pot." The TN AG is arguing in this case that the open fields doctrine should apply under the TN Constitution. It clearly is an exception under the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution's right against unreasonable search and seizure without probable cause and a warrant. It's my understanding that TN lower courts and the Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled that the open fields doctrine does NOT apply under the TN Constitution. A complicating factor in this case is there was to some degree US Fish & Wildlife Service involvement. Thus, a question presented is whether TWRA game wardens can rely on the open fields doctrine if feds are also involved?
Nothing is as simple as you guys think it is.

I can see the no warrant issue, but at least probable cause should be present.

I think TWRA oversteps a lot I think they mean well but they should be held to some sort of law them self if they fly drones over me that's trespassing I will shoot it down and don't care who's it is not that I'm hideing anything but that a intrusion of my privacy
Looks like Nashville airport police can be added to the list as well.

This. I was never not a supporter of them til about 7 to 10 years ago. The reaction or lack there of to turkeys has turned my opinion of them in a very negative light. Throw the cwd mess in there for deer and some of the other things. Makes you scratch your head and wonder why they have jobs. But the turkeys is inexcusable to me.

They aren't going anywhere. Same as all the other government agencies. In reality probably will get way worse.
