Just saw this tonight... DNR officers patrolling highways rather than backroads.?
No they do not.Do Wardens Have Radar In Their Trucks Now?
No they do not.
The one that pulled me over for speeding claimed to have one…No they do not.
The one that pulled me over for speeding claimed to have one…
you already know the answer to thatYa!
But Which License Plate Was On Your Truck At The Time?![]()

Do All The DWR Officers Know You By Your First Name?![]()
Perfect year to not have an archery deer tag!Once the archery season starts, the officers will all be in court for the I-15 speeding court dates vs being in the field. Pretty messed up.
Someone needs to ask about this at the next RAC or WB meeting and I would love to see the looks on the faces of the Board.
Anybody Know How Close To The White Line Is Too F'N Close?
How Bout It Niller?
Do You Know?
Why? The DWR conservation officers do not work for the Wildlife Board or the RACs. Why would the DNR care what those two groups have to say over anyone else?
I do know! “Close to the line” is not a violation.
I know this news story gets people fired up, and that is the whole reason they are doing it. A presidential election isn’t enough good news bites for them, apparently. So here is the deal, coming from someone that has no authority to speak on behalf of anyone and I have no inside knowledge about what is happening with the DNR directive, but I do know a thing or two about this world and will spit some truth for you all.
DWR conservation officers are POST certified with the exact same statewide law enforcement jurisdiction as any other police officer in the state. If they observe a violation of the law, why does anyone think they can’t stop you? The law doesn’t agree with you if you are of that belief. While traffic enforcement isn’t a part of their direct duties, it’s absolutely in their prerogative to make a lawful stop for any violation of the law anywhere in the state of Utah.
Next, it appears they are doing this because they were told to do so by their superiors. The vast majority of us answer to a boss, and when our bosses say your job is now to do this, we do it. If we have an issue with the practice, we shouldn’t harp on the officers, but take it up the chain to those that mandated they do certain things.
Honestly, this doesn’t bother me one bit. If I felt like DWR officers were camped out on I-15 running radar all shift, that would bug me, however, it appears they are just being told that when out and about traveling between areas, if you see something, do something about it. I’ve got no issue with that. This isn’t illegal. It’s not a violation of policy. It’s within their law enforcement powers.
If you don’t want a speeding ticket, don’t speed.
Is Our DWR/DNR Money Going For RADAR Guns & Such?
So?
If The UHP Decides He's Had Enough Of The City BS?
Can He Go To The Mountain & Look For POACHERS & ETC?
