Thats fucked...
Its like the dudes legal and was totally honest with the guy. He could of just lied and got away with it. Society tells us to be honest to the cops and obey the law... pshh screw that next time a cop ask me anything im just gunna lie. I mean it seems like every time someone including myself is honest with them you get in even more trouble. I know thats not to bright to say but in reality its true
Its just such a stupid situation that DID NOT need to happen. He spent the time and money to be legal so things like this werent an issue.
That being said he should of known it was federal land but the guy just moved down here and it was his first time to Glamis ever... (im sure he really wants to go back now)
