I read that post about the bear shooting in Alaska and I thought this question deserved its own post.
This is probably a total newbie question, but Ill ask it anyways. What kind of jurisdiction do city policemen, sheriffs, or highway patrolmen have when it comes to enforcing and issuing citation relative to hunting and fishing laws?
I would assume in most cases where they suspect the law has been violated they would cooperate with local F&G to issue a citation, but are they versed enough in hunting and fishing laws to detain you until F&G arrives? Do they have the right to detain you if they suspect you have violated these laws?
I know some of you guys are LEO's so chime in.
