House Bill 189 — Fish and Game warrantless inspections

House Bill 189 — Fish and Game warrantless inspections

by
Phil Haunschild
February 25, 2019

Bill description: HB 189 would limit the authority of the state Department of Fish and Game to conduct warrantless searches.

Rating: +1

Does it violate the spirit or the letter of either the US Constitution or the Idaho Constitution? Examples include restrictions on speech, public assembly, the press, privacy, private property, or firearms. Conversely, does it restore or uphold the protections guaranteed in the US Constitution or the Idaho Constitution?

HB 189 would require the state Department of Fish and Game to obtain a warrant or the owner’s consent prior to conducting a search or inspection of a vehicle, boat, storage facility, restaurant, or other private property.

Under current law, officers of the Department of Fish and Game are given wide authority to inspect private vehicles and private property if they have any reason to think a private individual has violated a law.

HB 189 would protect the rights secured under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
