Two officers with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources set up a sting using a decoy deer in a field next to a road. They saw a guy just stop and look at the decoy deer. He didn’t shine a light on it; he didn’t shoot at it; just looked at it, and then drove away. He did nothing illegal. But, he was an irresistible target for the two officers, because his truck was new and expensive; he had valuable gear they wanted for themselves. He hired a lawyer; she obtained the bodycam, and she was shocked at what she saw. She got the charges dropped and has now filed a lawsuit on his behalf. I got a chance to interview her and review all of the bodycam footage. It shows an out of control government agency, harassing law abiding citizens and trying to steal their stuff.

Insane…
Game wardens should not have arrest power and should not have the power to stop people. Stopping a car does not protect wildlife and arresting someone for spotlighting without taking an animal is a bad law. Game wardens get to trespass without consequence. Observe and report if they have to do something.
And muting or failure to record video or audio should be punishable as a felony. If I hide evidence I would be charged with a felony.
How the fuck you gonna say this is an out of control gov agency? This is two dipshits throwing their jobs away, nothing to do with the agency
You want an out of control agency? Look at fuckin ICE
Maybe they should put decoys of deputies out there and see if anyone " shines a light at it".
The corporation wants money.
Back2Basic YET every report submitted to Court IS signed under Penalty of PERJURY, WHY NEVER CHARGED and presented to Grand Juries of We The People UNITED???😊
scumbags exist in every walk of life, some walks are disproportionate. Remember, enemies both foreign and domestic.
omg
If they are not trying, what is their purpose? Wildlife conservation.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for good cops doing a job that I won't do. However, I have a real problem with bad cops. If anyone needs to be hauled off and be put in a cage the same way they are arresting legal immigrants who just want to make a living, it's these people.
Easy to address when admitting our courts are the crime.
I cant believe this 😮The government trying to take peoples stuff .😮
We are occupied by a hostile force
They belong in prison
Good I hate tyrants and they should NEVER be allowed to be officers again.
America is waking up be careful
WAIT!!! Is there truly a law on the books that states a person commits a crime for shining a light on a deer? WTF!?!?!?!?! Our laws and governments need to change.
Cops: you cannot even look at a deer.
Apparently, deer are part of the thin blue line gang
Idc how many apples there are, anyone with a badge is a piece of sht in my eyes
Just what the fuck is up with these corrupt thugs trying to steal his truck.
Muting or turning off body cams should be considered destruction of evidence. If they can do whatever they want with them then what’s the point
prosecuter and wardens need 25 year sentences in general population , obviously they wouldn't survive and Society would benefit
Typical small municipality revenue pirates
Vile government functionaries.
Can't stop and look at a deer with a gun in the truck without any intention to shoot the deer????? I call BS on that!!!!!!!!!
Game wardens are just wanna be cops. And like all cops, they are dirty, abusive and likely psychopaths.
Body cam should be made so they cannot be muted
Civil forfeiture needs to go away. It is being regularly abused by law enforcement.
The fact that their own department didn't prosecute them…tells you that it's accepted behavior by the entire department. They all do it…they just haven't been caught on camera.
