It is not up to the enforcement party to say who is right. If the enforcement is illegal than it is illegal. The state can find ways to collect, they can issue more citation. They can follow you home and find those extra lobster in the freezer. Trust me they will collect their money. In the case of Murdock vs Pennsylvania, that case had to go to supreme court in order to fight for their religious freedom because the state was adamant about collecting their fees. I am trying to find all the legal reason why i would lose in court, but no one has come up with a valid legal reason. The only reason that has come up is because I can't. Well why can't I? what are the legal reasons why? If those guaranteed rights, offer equal protection to all: Why do i have to pay for a recreational fishing license just because you say i have to? o' because you(DFG,Fish&game,Local law enforcement, the STATE OF CA) threaten me... i see i don't fish every day or every week. So my encounters with the wardens are few, but when i encounter them. It will begin...

This thread has turned south.
Stop pissing and moaning about having to buy a license to fish...either pay and play or get a citation. Pretty simple. NOBODY gives two shit weather YOU buy a license of not. However we are interested in how busted you actually get.  FWIW- the only way I know out of purchasing a fishing license is if your are an American Indian (CA) and can prove it. *You still must purchase a lobster tag IF you desire to fish them. Please note that you will have long visits the with DFW and you still may get a citation. Good luck. lol |

@wiredantz I thought about your idea of not signing the license, but if I remember correctly the retailer (I usually buy from Big 5) always has made me sign right there at the register before I pay for it. I would bet they would not sell it to me if I don't sign it. Interesting to think about.
On another note, I understand we all may not agree with each other on this issue, but I do not understand why trying to defend one's rights provokes such a protest by some of us. To be clear, I am not saying we must or should agree with each other. But whatever you believe, it is beyond me why we get so worked up about it. When defending your rights is met with such anger and protest, it is just sad in my opinion. It’s already an uphill fight against the government, we don’t need to fight each other too. What is so wrong about trying to defend one’s rights? It may be true that using a Constitutional defense is an uphill battle, or even impossible, but I say that is all-the-more reason to do so. On the other hand, it may not be. I’m sure it is also true, as I’ve read here, that such a defense would be laughed at. But, is that not the problem to begin with? After all, we either have a Constitution or we don’t. Now, you may disagree with what the Constitution says, but then the battle you must fight is changing the Constitution, not beating down others who happen to disagree with you. I do believe we need to manage the fisheries and stock - I get it. I don’t even mind paying for this service. I do think the MLPAs are ridiculous, as are fees for not having your license on you. Bottom line for me is that an unchecked government of any kind tends to eventually result in a reduction of individual rights, so whenever I see some folks using their heads to fight for their rights, I say go for it. |

Our Government is Great but it's what we have....
No one is forcing you to buy a license, you have the choice to fish and if you choose to fish then you must buy a license , or suffer the consequences. Period
No government or society is ideal, but if you think its bad here. Try living in a country that will execute its own citizens for trying to educate themselves. Or in a country where all of the fish and game are property of the King and taking even one small bird can result in you and your family being put to death. Sure our laws and regulations aren't great, that is something we can ALL agree upon, but they are what we have and we have to play with the hand we are dealt, and work within a given framework to change and amend these laws. The pure and simple fact is that we as Americans have it way better than most people living on the planet earth right now. Over 2.9 BILLION or 33% of people on this planet make less than $3/day and 1.6 BILLION people lack sufficient housing. Just be glad that you have a roof over your head and a few bucks in your pocket. It can ALWAYS be much worse than forking over $50 bucks to a Tyrannical Oligarchy.

I just sent a certified letter to CDFW, explaining that I want a Free 2017 Fishing license, and i listed all the court cases.  wonder if they will respond... I never knew that the words the law use are NOT the same ENGlish definition we know them as, they are defined under a very different definition when you look at the Black Law Dictionary.

Nope, just wanted to know if they were going to respond. 2017 licenses are not even out yet... but i want to know what kind of BS there going to come up since the right to fish is defined. CA does not stand alone declaring Fishing a right https://www.nssf.org/factsheets/PDF/...ttoHunFish.pdf
