The claim of an unconstitutional search by a San Diego fisherman who got caught with an out-of-season lobster was rebuffed Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In denying review, the high court let stand a California Supreme Court opinion in June that people who hunt and fish have fewer of the privacy rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment.

The state high court granted game wardens the authority to stop, question and search citizens without a warrant or even without probable cause to believe a law has been broken.

All the warden needs, the California court ruled, is knowledge that a person is or has been fishing or hunting.

The reality television show "Wild Justice," which features the work of California's game wardens, has completed shooting a second season and has been booked for a third.

The program, featured on the National Geographic Channel, will also be the subject of a panel discussion Jan. 21 at the International Sportsmen's Exposition, the annual hunting and fishing trade show at Cal Expo in Sacramento.

"Wild Justice" has been a strong commercial success. It plunges viewers into the dangerous and sometimes gory world of California Department of Fish and Game wardens as they pursue wildlife poachers. It has also troubled some responsible sportsmen who object that it paints hunters as bloodthirsty scofflaws.

Lake County's Game Warden Team Grows; Warden Careers draw more Interest

Lake County News

Monday 07 November 2011

Written by Elizabeth Larson

 

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County's team of game wardens has increased over the course of this year, which is leading to more enforcement on the lake and the land.

In January, several new wardens joined the local ranks after having finished the California Department of Fish and Game Academy last summer, according to Fish and Game Lt. Loren Freeman.

That brings the number of local wardens to six, he said.

“We're real excited about that,” Freeman said.

Freeman said for about a year and a half there were only three local wardens working Lake and part of Mendocino County, with the other three positions existing vacancies.

New hires at the start of the year from the 54th academy include Mark Michilizzi, John Holley and Tim Little, according to Mike Carion, Fish and Game Academy director and assistant chief of Northern California.

Michilizzi is based in Middletown, Holley in Clearlake and Little in Lucerne, said Freeman.
