The US is a police state now. Americans should be out in the streets with pitchforks and torches, but instead they would rather shut up, cover their ears, and put their heads in the sand.

Weird.

So the government shouldn't be allowed to protect the natural world from destruction?

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer John Martino arrested Fiscal-Gonzalez after he received a tip about a woman collecting conchs from a concerned citizen. The officer arrived at the house where the Texas resident was staying and found the conchs in bins outside.

He told the Herald that most of the sea creatures were still alive and he was able to return them to the water.
