"Fish Cops" Flounder the 4th Amendment

In Pennsylvania, officers of the Fish and Boat Commission have the power to trespass on any land or water without a warrant.

But the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protects all Americans, including Pennsylvanians who live near water.

Today we’re talking with IJ attorneys Kirby Thomas West and Dylan Moore about a new case challenging warrantless trespassing.
