[QUOTE="bend, post: 305074, member: 4811"] I saw the other day that one of the american mining assoc's are taking some of their forest rangers to court over similar things. A lot more aggressive being as their in gunland naturally, but it makes me wonder about the chances of making an example of some of the more uneducated public servants I hear rumours about harassing people. "yes sir, no sir..." works fine on the spot but without somehow forcing them to actually know their own regulations and defending ourselves in the appropriate systems I don't see any way that things are going to get better. The alternative is a slow progression toward Gina Rinehart being the only prospector :P left as far as I can see. Fortunately I've only run into a couple and they've been well informed about the actual rules, but I've heard about a few people being told to shut down due to the public servant in question being apparently unaware of the rules, be they in regards to location or equipment :mad: . Definitely not a good thing as far as the future for prospecting goes. [/QUOTE]
