Why not??? This was my point...I read your original post and as it's highlighted below, YOU ADMITTED TO GIVING THEM PERMISSION. Just like you have the right to say no, they have the right to have you sit on the side of the highway and wait for a warrant. And guess what, if it's not a dwelling and they believe waiting to search could jeopardize the investigation/evidence, they can search without a warrant!! So they did everything to the book...they asked...you said no...they said you'll have to wait for a warrant, and you said go ahead...YOUR words. So what's your beef and all this huffing and puffing about civil rights when you gave them permission?? Or maybe your story is complete Bull? Yeah, this is the most likely scenario. So for someone that obviously backed down because they were willing to get a warrant yet didn't have to, smart call on saving the .25 to call a lawyer...
Oh, and my guess is they weren't upset they didn't find anything, they were upset that some guy with less than a teaspoon of knowledge about civil rights, the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, and the limitations of enforcement within the Act by CO's, thought he'd play Johnnie Cochran and waste valuable time and resources.
This has nothing to do with rights being disregarded.
