Small town, big overreach: My clash with Forest Service cops

Description

Yet another story of Forest Service cops abusing their power. This time, Tim Sundles reflects on a small-town encounter in Salmon, Idaho, that turned into a textbook case of federal overreach.


When an elderly local was stopped for (allegedly) cutting firewood without a permit, Tim called out the officer, triggering a “pursuit” through town. What followed was a confrontation over jurisdiction, a call to 911, and a sheriff who already had a stack of complaints about one of the parties involved.


Tim breaks down the absurdity of federal enforcement priorities, the dangers of militarized agencies like the Forest Service and BLM, and why standing your ground still matters.
