Old Ironmaker Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's about time a judge issued decent fines for violations. Actually should have been more. http://mnrwatch.com/fishermen-fined-14900/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 why in the heck is there such a double standard when it comes to these guys vs others?? is it because they are white canadians that should know better? these fines are slightly closer to what should be charged against these A holes...but the last story I heard the white bucket brigade was out in the kawarthas fishing without licenses in a fish sanctuary keeping out of season fish and they got like a $500 fine...what a joke.

Any links to actual news stories about the reverse discrimination being proposed here? ie ...White folks being nailed to the cross and other groups handled with kid gloves by all Conservation Officers. It's got the makings of a conspiracy theory!!! Edited September 22, 2017 by scuro2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) We would need a lot more examples to see if there is a pattern. But I did just stumble on example of people with European sounding names getting $5,000 dollar fines...Although in this case the fine is still pretty low considering that they were way, way over their limit. http://blackburnnews.com/chatham/chatham-news/2017/09/21/fishermen-fined-10000-keeping-many-walleye/ Edited September 22, 2017 by JohnBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskymatt Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 There is a huge difference between ignorance to the laws and disrespect for the laws. Ignorance is no excuse but those with blatent disregard do deserve a bigger fine ,,,,,,,,in most cases! IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called due diligence people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
