NICE WIN for privacy - Tennessee property owners win court battle after gov posted secret cameras on their properties

These neighbors found cameras outdoors on their land. Guess who was behind it - Tennessee Fish and Wildlife, and the Feds.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife and the TWRA argued they were allowed to install the cameras because of a provision called the Open Fields Doctrine, which says that “open fields” are not protected by the fourth amendment.

HUGE WIN for Privacy! Two Tennessee Property Owners WIN Court Battle After Finding US Fish And Wildlife & TWRA Accessed Their Property And Spied On Them

Hunter Hollingsworth was hunting early one January morning in 2018 when he noticed something odd in one of the trees on his hunting property. He thought perhaps it was an animal and grabbed a flashlight to inspect it closer. It was a hidden camera with an antenna with images of himself, TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) agents, and US Fish and Wildlife agents. Hollingsworth removed the camera and placed it in his safe, forgetting about it until he had an unpleasant encounter later that fall when law enforcement came with a search warrant and searched his home, claiming he had stolen the camera. Hollingsworth said they were dressed in bulletproof vests and had first aid kits and extra magazines like they were a SWAT team. They handcuffed him but did not arrest him.

turns out it happened to a neighbor as well.

Hollingsworth had already started the long march through the court system, but was running out of steam.

His neighbor added fuel, and they continued.


from link:

Through word of mouth, Hollingsworth discovered that a neighbor, Terry Rainwater, had also found two cameras on his private property. One pointed directly at his workshop in his home.

Rainwaters’ son and friends were charged in Operation Bird Dog two months later.

Rainwaters’ land was accessed by an officer who used a boat to access his land when he installed the cameras. Rainwater was not living on his property at the time but had rented it to a tenant. Rainwaters’ had never been cited for violation of hunting laws.

That's what Hollingsworth thought.


He took the camera down and put it into a safe and kept it "safe".

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.

at the end (until the inevitable appeal):

from link:

“The Tennessee Constitution was designed so that law enforcement have to go through certain procedures to do their jobs,” Institute for Justice attorney Josh Windham said. “We don’t live in a country and we don’t live in a state in Tennessee where police just get to do whatever they want because it’s efficient or it would make their lives easier.”

Nice find Beeches. One important part of the article is when the guy ran out of money to fight, "A nonprofit law firm, The Institute for Justice, stepped in to help."

I looked Institute for Justice up and it seems they accept cases from anywhere in the country. You can submit a request right on the website.
