They’d run into A LOT of David Karesh type of situations and people might fire back in Texas. In fact, I guarantee many would.

Tbh ICE agents probably want any excuse to open fire on these people. Decades of being replaced/invaded

Maybe. Like I said I’m sure they’ll get some of that action too.

So can a game warden, and those searches can evolve into criminal cases.
I don't see what the big demarcation is here between the two.
I remember one time someone called the cops about someone waiving pistol outside a friends house, and the police raided the house without a warrant.
The cops looked for the described person with the gun who obviously wasn't there, but left all the weed, bongs and pot plants which the owner then destroyed, despite the police giving writing that they did not care, unless someone else makes a completely separate complaint, and investigation about it.

That is batshit insane, but no worries here, australia hasn't made a good movie since chopper.

So many people understand this... I'm sure you get it. We have very few states in this country that actually encourage filming. Imagine if a 237M budget film like Avatar in 2009 was in upstate California instead of in New Zealand... But you get it. Your not silly...
