Alabama game wardens are the latest wildlife law enforcers facing potential legal restrictions on their abilities to enforce wildlife laws on private property.
In July 2024, Tennessee authorities decided not to further challenge a court case saying game wardens could no longer conduct searches under the federal open field doctrine, unless they had a court-ordered search warrant or direct permission from the landowner to access their property. The case, brought by the Institute for Justice (IJ) on behalf of Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth, will forever affect wildlife law enforcement in Tennessee.
