You have a constitutional right to fish, hunt, poach, take whatever you want, and as much as you want. It's guaranteed by the constitution, and the california constitution, and the bill of fishing rights, also approved by the CPA (California Poachers Association). You don't need a fishing licence! I would Estoppel the evidence and file a escheat immediately! Take these steps to pro se innocence you will resjudicata the hearing and exparte you emminent domain. |
I am glad they busted and prosecuted them. I cant tell you how often I see people keeping fish that should be tossed back. Some people just dont care. Its interesting how it seems most these offenders are from a certain far east country.
Yeah, people complaint about a fishing license. Its use is disputable. But laws around the sizes of fish you can keep make way more sense. Also laws around what species you can keep and when you can obtain them make sense. |

Congratulations, State worshippers!! Land of the Slaves!!
It's pretty funny how brainwashed people are. You have a computer in your hand and yet your too damn lazy to look up websters Dictionary.
Poaching Defintion= noun 1. the illegal practice of trespassing on another's property to hunt or steal game without the landowner's permission. 2. any encroachment on another's property, rights, ideas, or the like. So did they poach by definition? No, and you gladly congratulate the DFG for busting a couple OLD guys for a dozen abalone, and 3 lobsters, and yet your completely clueless on the REAL FACTS. Every single year the commercial industry has been gaining revenue and yet it hasn't rung a bell yet. Lets explore the facts:At the height of the Abalone Commercial Fishing Industry was bringing in 2000 metric tonnes of abalone. Let's put this in perspective for you. 4,408,000 Pounds of Abalone from the Commercial fishing industry! Of course the depletion of the resource didn't happen from recreational fishermen, but from commercial fishermen. Since then farming of the abalone become a major effort since it was the commercial fishermen who F***ed up the resource. Of course they don't ban or hardly put restrictions, but started farming. Now, lets look at commercial fishing of Spiny Lobsters, because those evil fishermen took 3 (2 weeks before the season, how dare they). Here's a paragraph I found from the Monterey Research Facility:Establishing the import and export figures for California spiny lobster is rather complicated due to the lack of delineation of the term “lobster” in most databases. However, the 2010 ex-vessel value of the California lobster fishery was $11.13 million in 2010 (CalCOFI 2011). This is up from the $7.89 million in 2009, and the previous high of $8.06 million set in 2006 (CalCOFI 2011). The majority of the lobster caught in California is exported and shipped live (as they cannot be tailed for market) to Asian countries, particularly China, in the last several years (Barksy pers.comm. 2012). Did you read that??? $11 Million in revenue, for 400 Metric Tonnes (881,848 lbs) of Lobster, most of which is being EXPORTED!!! You people gladly encourage exporting your resource meanwhile frown on a 75 year old guy keep 3 lobsters - 2 weeks out of season. THIS IS INSANE!!! THINK, IT AINT ILLEGAL YET!! |
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.

You might be on to something....

I personally think the rest of us should get to use poachers as SHARK BAIT!
|
Criminals often factor in fines/jail time as "the cost of doing business" should they get caught. It's a big ocean, and since DFW can't police all of it all the time, one's chances of getting caught are pretty low. Therefore I see the excessive fines as necessary to make the criminals reconsider their cost/benefit calculations.
I agree with you on one thing, Silbaugh. Let's not call them poachers, when in fact they are CRIMINALS :cheers1: |
Let's use the whole definition
Silbaugh,
If you are using the online links (looks like you used dictionary.com instead of Websters), as your example, then let's use the entire definitions Further down in dictionary.com, it also states poach as a verb, that among others includes the definition "to take game or fish illegally". At the Webster's link, it also states "also: to take game or fish illegally". Let's not cherry pick parts of the definition, let's source the entire definition if we are going to use a dictionary as our source Just on a historical note, both mention the word's origin in middle England. That helps explain the "landowner" part, because back then, the land and the game upon it belonged to the lord who owned the lands. Looks like both Websters and dictionary.com have included the more modern definition of the term. Even Oxford dictionary from England has updated it to include "Illegally hunt or catch (game or fish) on land that is not one's own, or in contravention of official protection." In this case, official protection would be the gamelaws. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/poach http://www.dictionary.com/browse/poaching https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/poach And for the record, I deplore poachers of all types, both private and commercial. You see it all the time, folk with too many lobsters, too many fish, undersized fish. All because the either think the rules don't apply to them, or think that they are the exception. It is, pure and simple, a case of where there is no sense of community or tribe. Folks are out for what benefits them alone, and to heck with how it affects those to their left and their right.

Of course people of ALL races poach, there's just a tendency that seems to lean towards the very FACT that people from the far East do it more often percentage-wise as a race. To think otherwise is also ignorant. Aaron |
I can't wait til someone, ANYONE catches something so we can all talk about that and put this to rest. Just sayin'.........

DEEP? DEEP?
I think we have gone off the deep end here! :eek:
A poaching thread turned into Asian poachers, scientific graphs, constitutional rights, learning about the definition of certain words, black drive by shootings, doubling down on Asian poachers, public official corruption, conspiracy theory, memes by the meme King... What next?! |
