Outdoor Writer Report post Posted December 14, 2007 My question is why didn't AZGFD release the names of the people they charged? Bill Quimby I'm working on it, Bill. This has been an ongoing debate between myself and the folks at the AGFD for the last few years. In reality, we're lucky we got as much as we did on this case because several years ago, the department decided that providing info on poaching cases -- charges, convictions, etc. -- provided the wrong sort of publicity for hunting. To that aim, most of what you normally see is requests for information on suspected poaching incidents but little after-the-fact information if someone is nabbed. Also, when results are provided, the cases often involve another agency such as the USFWS, who doesn't have such a policy. Thus, I have urged the folks at AGFD to change its policy and do like most every other state does -- provide the outcome of such cases. Of course, all of the information is available if someone requests it because of the Freedom of Information statutes. In the case of someone being charged and yet not convicted, I'm sure the powers are concerned about litigation. BUT...revealing such would be no different than what occurs daily in the local papers when the names of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc. are printed when they are merely charged with the crimes. Anyway, hang loose on the names. I'll post them as soon as I get them. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
