[QUOTE="MJB, post: 159436, member: 1222"] I thought I read somewhere that although there are laws which MUST be obeyed, most of the time the authorities do not have the manpower or resources to enforce such laws. I think that in VIC only an officer of the mines department has the legal right to demand to see your miners right....how many on here have ever had that happen?? I may be wrong however and I dare say you would have to be confronted by a very upset and disgruntled officer to be fined without first being given a warning of sorts. Another thread here somewhere asks the question when was the last time in Vic that someone actually did get fined for not having a Miners Right, very few and far between. Not sure about other states [/QUOTE]
