What that means is that you or I can get on there and make any changes or type and publish anything we want. So please people, when talking about something a s serious as this, please for the love of god, DONT USE WIKI! Lol Again, thank you Gassyboy for doing the proper research.

Just remember, probable cause is VERY EASY to establish. All they have to say is that poaching activity is high in that area and you were in that area and were acting suspicious. Done deal.

In Arizona, the deputy sheriffs submitted in court that if they "asked" to search and you refused, that was probable cause. You must be engaged in some suspicious activity if you don't want them to search. This was challenged when a deputy wanted to search a home so he acted like he wanted to use the phone. The homeowner refused to let him in, so he claimed probable cause and searched the home. The case was dismissed, but the trend continues with very loose interpretations of "probable cause".
