Farm License Plate Questions
People are shooting from the road!! Help!!?
We have a farm in Georgia. During deer season the rednecks (ok I’m one too, so the bad rednecks) drive slowly down the road looking for deer. When they see one, they shoot at it. At dusk, sometimes at night with a spotlight. What can I do? Short of shooting back. If I setup a fake deer and video tape them and their license plate, is that enough to prosecute them? Would you contact the sheriff or DNR guys? Any other ideas? We’ve been chasing them and shinning a light on them to scare them off. The DNR and Sheriff are understandably too busy most of the time. HELP!!
My heart goes out to you. This isn’t just frustrating, it down right pisses a man off.
First…you never want to piss off a person with a gun. It is best that you just stay away from them. Shining the vehicle from a distance is fine as the criminals would see it as more of an “Oh sh*t!, someone sees me” type thing rather than a threat. If someone sees you video taping them shooting at a fake deer, the criminals might begin to see jail time, big fines, or loss of hunting licenses and blame you.
If you carry a gun for protection and end up shooting someone in self-defense, you will have an Excedrin sized legal headache to keep you out of jail. If you stay out of jail, then you will have civil suits to fight off. The families will claim the whole thing was planned from the start and you will probably die of a heart attack from the stress and leave your family broke (OK, so I am probably being overdramatic, but point is you can get yourself in a world of sh*t). There is a book called Poachers Caught by a retired Warden named Chapin. He tells a story about an old man who was reporting poachers to the DNR and taking them on. A short time later, the old man disappeared and was never found. Most poachers are punk kids or adults without honor, but some are real criminals…it isn’t worth the risk.
Second, call and talk with your local DNR warden (your local warden, not the state headquarters…you can find out who your local warden is through the state DNR office or your local police usually). Let the local warden know what is going on. Take notes over time and let the warden know if the poachers come on the same day of the week, they drive the same vehicle, shine in the same spot, etc.. The less work it is for the warden to get an arrest, the more they will listen to you, so collect information (I’m not calling wardens lazy, it is just that there are so few of them and a lot of area to cover, they need to choose their battles).
If the DNR doesn’t listen to you, talk with the local sheriff/local police and see if they would be willing to pursue tresspassing charges against the poachers. Take your info you collected to them and try to make it as easy of a case as possible.
If the local police/sheriff won’t listen, then you are pretty much SOL. The person who suggested contacting the news agency had a good suggestion. However, a few dead deer in the field isn’t much of a story for a local paper (though local law enforement ignoring an ever growing problem might be). Maybe a local sportsman’s magazine or paper would be interested in the story.
If no one still won’t listen to you, have some fun with the situation. Fashion a deer decoy out of a old deer hide and a metal barrel and put it out for people to shoot. Put a foam deer decoy out there and accidently drop a box of nails in the area, put the decoy in an area that happens to have a lot of holes that are diffcult to see, put some rotten eggs or dog poop in the area, or line a hole with plastic and fill with water. If there is an area poachers drive through your land, accidently drop a board with nails in the track to do some tire damage. When a poacher’s car stops, ping the paint with a BB gun (well, the BB gun is probably illegal and crossing the line for sure).
Be creative with rigged fireworks, noxious items, ipecac syrup, or a million other things. Just use your head and make sure not to cause any physical harm as that will get you into trouble.
Good Luck
Emission Test
By-law the Drive Clean program in Ontario requires an emission test on most Light-Duty Vehicles, see below;
- Passenger cars
- Vans
- Light trucks
- Sports utility vehicles
- Motor homes
“Drive Clean is Ontario’s mandatory vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program. It improves our health and environment by reducing smog-causing pollutants through testing and repairing vehicle emissions systems.” (Source: www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/category/drive_clean/STDPROD_075529.html
An emission test is only performed on vehicles from 1988 and newer and an emission test is performed every two years. As of September 1, 2011 an emission test will be performed for registration renewal purposes at the age of seven years, currently an emission test is performed at the age of five years.
A vehicle requires the emission test to pass or get a conditional pass to renew the sticker on the license plate.
“Effective September 1, 2011, changes to Drive Clean will save drivers time and money, while continuing to protect the environment. Learn about the changes that became law on June 1.
Summary of Changes to Emission Testing Effective September 1, 2011:
- Vehicles will need a test for registration renewal at seven years of age, instead of five.
- Light-duty vehicles no longer require a test for family transfers and lease buyouts by the lessee.
- No test is required for license renewal if your light-duty vehicle passed the test in the previous calendar year.
- Vehicles plated “Historic” no longer require testing.
If your vehicle registration expires before September 1, 2011, the previous rules apply.”(Source: www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/category/drive_clean/index.htm)
“As a consumer-protection measure, an emissions test pass is required when buying or selling used vehicles with a model year older than the current calendar year, to help ensure consumers do not purchase a vehicle with emissions problems.
Vehicles exempt from Drive Clean testing requirements :
- All hybrid vehicles (those powered by a combination of internal combustion engines and electric motors)
- Vehicles of the 1987 model year and older
- Vehicles currently designated as “Historic” under the Highway Traffic Act
- Light-duty commercial farm vehicles
- Kit cars
- Motorcycles
(Source:www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/category/drive_clean/STDPROD_075536.html)
The following are some positive facts about – or resulting from – the Drive Clean program :
- Motor vehicles are a major domestic source of smog and several other toxic contaminants. Smog can have serious health consequences for many people, particularly children, the elderly and those with respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses.
- Through Drive Clean, vehicle owners have an opportunity to make a positive contribution to the quality of our air through good vehicle maintenance and by identifying and correcting emissions problems.
- From 1999 through 2008, Drive Clean reduced smog-causing emissions of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from light-duty vehicles by an estimated 266,000 tons. During the same period, the program also reduced emissions of carbon monoxide by about 2.5 million tons and carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas, by about 250,000 tons.
- Drive Clean reduces particulate matter emissions from trucks and buses by an average of over 200 tons.
- Starting in 2012, Drive Clean is phasing in a new testing technology that, by 2013, is expected to reduce emissions from on-road vehicles by 20 per cent over what can be achieved with the current test.
- A well maintained vehicle that is using less fuel saves money at the gas pumps as well as emits fewer pollutants. Early identification of emissions problems also helps avoid major repair bills and results in vehicles that are more reliable, run more smoothly and will likely last longer on the road.(Source: www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/category/drive_clean/STDPROD_075529.html)
