Can Government Agents Swipe Your Camera And Spy On You?

Josh Highlander has a beautiful home on 30 acres of mostly wooded property in Virginia. His family loves the outdoors but now they have cause for concern. Two months ago, Josh’s wife was surprised to see a stranger in full camouflage through the trees. She ushered their son back inside and alerted Josh; by the time he got outside, the stranger was gone.

It turned out that the person in camo was a game warden with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR). They were not just snooping. Later that night Josh noticed that the game camera he had set up on one of his hunting spots was gone. When he reported that camera stolen to the sheriff’s department, they confirmed that DWR had seized the camera.
