I have gone to Court twice for hunting violations and the Assistant States Attorney would not know how to load a gun if he/she had to. I've even represented clients in these cases and the Assistant States Attorney has no clue what he/she is doing. Not this winter, but the winter before I represented a fellow CPA for shooting a deer with a shotgun when it was muzzleloader season. The game warden charged him with the wrong code section and the Assistant States Attorney had to drop the case. Sometimes, it just really, really pisses me off how incompetent these people are. Then again, sometimes I have to be careful what I say. If they were really competent they would probably be able to find some type of violation every time they checked us.

It just really bugs the heck out of me when I get charged with something that isn't even close to true. Both times that I was found not guilty on DNR violations, the charges weren't true. The officers charged me because they had a chip on their shoulders. I think it ended up being a little bit of a shock when they saw that I could handle myself in a courtroom.

By the way, the Assistant States Attorney tried to hammer in the fact that I had fired my gun after taking 5 to 10 steps from the vehicle. Obviously, she has no clue about how to load a gun and it would take her 5 to 10 steps from the vehicle to even get the shells out of her pocket.
