[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 511261, member: 31103"] The Supreme Court has held that Conservation Officers can search properties without a warrant looking for violations of game laws. That's why they can demand to search freezers and coolers with no warrant and can enter dwellings to conduct those searches. Some states have restricted that authority within their respective boundaries. It wouldn't be a far stretch to see how they might apply that to other DNR-related restrictions such as boating restrictions like HP ratings on boats. Personally, I think HP restrictions are dumb. What does that accomplish? What's the difference if a boat is traveling across the lake at no-wake speed with a 5 HP motor or a 225 HP motor? Here in Iowa, many lakes are restricted to electric-only, no-wake restrictions, or a specific maximum speed (often it's 5 mph). I'm not aware of any that are restricted by HP ratings on motors.
