Lunker777 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hey everyone I was just curious as to what happens when the MNS seizes your fishing gear, or hunting gear for that matter ? Would it be just like the police and they would have an auction ? or is there some warehouse jam packed with all sorts of outdoor gear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purekgw Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 i have always wondered that to i would think they would have an auction to clear the stuff out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Held until your court date comes up or you pay the fines. Sometimes given back.. other times for public auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishnwire Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'm fairly certain Irishfield is right. If you go to court and just a fine is imposed (and paid) you generally get your stuff back. Don't poach and you've got no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is one of the biggest JOKES around (NOT THE MNR GUYS AND GIRLS BUT THE LAW THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH) as they take your stuff lets say a person get's caught to many rods they take the extra rods this person pays a fine of $150 or so then they get the stuff back that's not bad for the ones who are running 4 or 6 extra rods heck only paying $150 to get the stuff back is cheap. The part that really sucks is that there is no record of it so this same person can go out and do it all over again and again and again and only pay the fine and get there stuff back unlike when you get a speeding ticket or seat belt one you loose your right to drive with to many violations maybe if they were able to keep track of this info and start to keep the tackle and auction it off or donate it to good will or some kids club for them to use this would make some think before they go out and do the things they do.

hammercarp Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 They take your stuff as evidence in the comission of the offence. If you are transporting over your limit in your boat it can be seized as evidence. They can't just seize stuff willy nilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Just ask the Midland OPP that carry the MNR with them. They keep it. They can do what they want... Edited April 6, 2009 by gbfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outllaw Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 normally what happens in southern ont. the fines issued or a summons to appear in court. if the subject pleas or is found guilty, the equipment is returned.innocent the same results. the persons then go to the mnr detachment and gets their stuff returned.. after all fines are payed..

PAZE Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 As said they normaly give it back, they use to have public auctions but they stopped them as far as I know, so who knows what happens to the stuff now, to be honest they can do whatever they want with it, the people that lost them deserved it anyway they where breaking the law.
