Conservation Officers – Conservation Officers enforce fisheries regulations in the Province of Ontario. They have powers of inspection, arrest, search and seizure under the various statutes they enforce, including the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and the Fisheries Act. When carrying out their duties, Conservation Officers may do the following:
• Stop and inspect a vehicle, boat or aircraft
• Ask questions relevant to the inspection
• Inspect buildings or other places
• Require assistance to complete inspections
• Enter onto private property to perform their duties
• Search with a warrant
• Search without a warrant in circumstances requiring immediate action
• Seize items related to an offence
• Arrest anyone the Conservation Officer believes has committed, is committing, or is about to commit an offence.
they drove there to commit the offence so the MNR can take what they want. What if the MNR had been watching lest say 5 of these people every day do the same thing over and over. It's up to the MNR as to how much and or what they want to take. If they had seen the guy in the video fight the fish (that was snagged) for 9+ min. and then drag it up from where he finally 'landed it' and then put it back in the water dead, take it all away...
