alas, but as a law enforcement agent i am also required to show proof of identifaction apon request..so flip it on them..ask to see there proof of employement/badge...if they are a real law enforcement agent they will show because anything they do after that refusal will be dismissed in court.
lol flock, I dont mind showing my fishing license to anyone. I try to keep things legalbut if im ever suspicious ill give it a try
Everytime we've been checked the CO will open his coat up like some cowboy to reveal his badge.Actually the guy we have in our area is pretty cool Never has an officer of the law requested anything from me without first showing his badge.
In Ontario the police cannot ask you to produce your fishing liscense. Only COs can ask you to produce it. Now the cops could hold you there and call to have the COs come out to check.
with the CO's cut budget alot of the OPP are giving them "tag along rides" are you sure it wasnt a CO with an opp
I got hit up by an OPP officer during the opening week of pike/crappie on a lake in Kingston. I was the only guy on the lake and the OPP pulls up beside my canoe and it takes about 5 minutes to pull me over, he asked for all my saftey gear inspected the canoe for fish and or booze and asked for my license...It was two OPP officers in uniform in an OPP boat. All was fine they were polite just doing there job.The only thing that bothered me was as they pulled away they told me to watch fishing near the shore becuase Bass was not open yet? I wonder what he would have said if I was fishing from the shore
So, basically, you're NOT down with OPP? I AM down with OPP, yeah, you know me. About 99% of the people on this site won't get that, but oh well.
munk?

This past year out on Reeds Lake, I did that once..Not checking out someones Liecense..But, wanted to see if they were catching any fish..lolI walked upto a couple of guys and said Directly to them.." OK, LET'S SEE THE FISH".They showed me...Usually you ask someone and they'll say.."Were not catching very many" or " Only Small Ones", etc..They had some nice gills in their bucket, when one guy looked at me, he said...Are you the law? I said..." Nope..Just a LOUD Fisherman.." lolThey just laughed, and we all had a cup of coffee together.Stan
Hey I'am not hiding nothin, if they want to come out and check me for a licence, all the power to them.
