Courts find warrantless searches by TWRA unconstitutional

Two Tennessee courts have now found that game wardens cannot conduct searches on private properties without having a warrant. This comes after two Benton County landowners sued the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for ignoring their private property signs.  

The Institute for Justice took on the lawsuit after landowners Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth had TWRA agents install cameras on their properties.

Good, I'm glad.
I despise game wardens. Don't get me wrong, I understand conservationism and why it's there, and I have never broken a fish & game law in my life, but I have never had a good or positive encounter with a game warden. In every single contact I've ever had with one, I've been treated like John Fucking Dillinger with their 'I can do whatever I want and what in the fuck are you going to do about it' attitudes.
