Lawmakers pick up DNR's push for warrantless searches
LRB: DNR could enter any premise where vehicles or boats are stored

Last year the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources began promulgating a rule that would allow the agency's wardens to enter private homes and properties to conduct searches for invasive species, and now two lawmakers are touting a bill that would give the agency even more power to enter private property, according to an analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau." Lawmakers pick up DNR's push for warrantless searches

But state Sen. Bob Jauch (D-Poplar) and state Rep. Nick Milroy (D-Superior) have picked up the torch by asking all legislators to co-sponsor their own invasive-species control bill, which, according to the Superior-Douglas County Area Chamber of Commerce, will "compliment (sic) and enhance" the proposed DNR rule.

And look at this!

According to the analysis, the bill would not only expand the law enforcement authority of DNR wardens but empower non-law enforcement DNR personnel to enter a person's private property as well.

And what could this lead to?

In other words, any DNR representative could enter any property where a vehicle or boat is kept at any time to conduct a compliance investigation.
